Stem Cell Treatment for Spina Bifida

A new stem cell treatment appears to be effective at reversing paralysis and other problems caused by spina bifida in newborns, according to a clinical trial underway at UC Davis Health. So far, three babies have received the unique treatment, which is delivered while a fetus is still in the womb. The clinical trial, launched in early 2021, is known formally as the “CuRe Trial: Cellular Therapy for In Utero Repair of Myelomeningocele.”
