- sithie, on 11/24/2008, -0/+27The spelling of the title of this article struck a chord with me.
- tehowe, on 11/24/2008, -0/+11It's the one at the end of 'A Day In the Life'?
- rhodan94, on 11/24/2008, -0/+9Bad news for Michael Jackson.
- benicillin1, on 11/24/2008, -2/+10my spinal chord is in c minor
- dtele, on 11/24/2008, -0/+7My nose nose how to heal my spine?
- ZedX, on 11/24/2008, -1/+7And the chord would be John Mayer's patented "M" chord.
- desotohawk, on 11/24/2008, -2/+8it's spelled spinal cord not chord!
- Bullsnot, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5Oops, someone just caught me harvesting stem cells.
- OneLess, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5It's morbid as hell, but I can't stop imagining someone playing chords on somebody's spine using their nose.
- RealmDown, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5I see how you tapped that.
- ayeroxor, on 11/24/2008, -1/+5Chord? FFS. Buried inaccurate.
- lpmiller, on 11/24/2008, -1/+5i smell a possible cure here.
- aenima987, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3Spinal Tap.
- redpixie, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2So using cells from a person's nose to assist in repairing their spine isn't stem cell treatment which has come about through stem cell research? And you're calling me an idiot.
How about you learn a little about what's happened under this government altering information relating to SCR and Bush trying to veto. Politically, medically and scientifically, this is big news.
By the way, paralysis was cured in mice years ago, thanks to stem cell research. What a shame politics didn't allow for human treatment to come from it here.
No doubt you're the kind of idiot that thinks "embryonic" (pluripotent) cells come exclusively from dead babies. - redpixie, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Horray for stem cell research! It is truely amazing we can actually have definitive news that this type of treatment can be used and does work (not that we thought it couldn't)...This is the end of the Bush era and moritorium on scientific research relating to anything improtant.
- lastelement0, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2can these nose cells help with spelling errors?
- RealmDown, on 11/24/2008, -1/+3Noes, nose KNOWS.
- simpleid, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2...
SCIENCE! - xpinchx, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Hopefully this actually goes somewhere. My brother is a T5 complete paraplegic after an accident in June and it's a frustrating world for spinal cord injury patients. There are a lot of promising possible treatments but you have to go to India or China to get anything done because of all the red tape.
- Republitericrat, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2This is wonderful news. My quaddrapalegic brother died at 42 as a result of pneumonia (most common killer of quads) I am hoping that this research will help find a way for people to recover from spinal injuries so others will not die so soon. Please digg, we need this to be seen.
Thank you. - RIOGoose, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1Tonight the nose is gonna rock ya.
- mistaguitarmast, on 11/24/2008, -1/+2Using nose cells? I'm sorry, I'm afraid Digg can't support this unless a sufficient number of babies are killed. Anything less would be anti-progressive!
- RIOGoose, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Although I agree with you, here's hoping that the next research breakthrough are stem cells that heal the part of the brain where spelling errors are generated! :-P
- redpixie, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Hehe, I just woke up and had a couple of sips of coffee. Honestly, my spelling is suffering.
Still, the news is good. - TnTBass, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1It seems they have a nose for science!
- Maurik, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Smells fishy...
- MrFurious2k, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1I have a big nose. I wonder if that means I could heal a lot of spines.
- Ashur420, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1As the son of a veteran that has been paralyzed for 40 years this makes me extremely happy. All I have wanted was to see my father walk...I am 24 and he is 61.
- inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1Sniffs out the damage it does!
- desktopmonkey, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Was the Spinal Chord the work of Spinal Tap?
- Joe_rigby, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1This one goes to eleven.
- ASSASSYN360, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1I knew harvesting boogers would lead to something helpful.
- TheSkylar, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1These posts need to stop unless it is actually true and happening. If someone with cancer was reading Digg for the last 4 years, it would be pretty unhealthy psychologically.
Digg - Curing injuries and diseases since 2004. - jjh91326, on 01/23/2009, -0/+0Hey Redpixie-stupid remarks. Bush did not try to prohibit Stem Cell research only EMBRYONIC stem cell use. The most productive stem cell research has come from the U of Louisville and other research centers showing improved motion in rats injected with nasal stem cells-not EMBRYONIC. So far non embryonic stem cell research has proven to be the most promising. Great research centers throughout the world have experimented with EMBRYONIC stem cells without much success. Don't try to be a scientist when you obviously are not Redpixie
- cougar3429, on 11/24/2008, -2/+2Unbelievable, you bring politics into this. You're an idiot. This is NOT stem cell research. Spread your liberal propoganda elsewhere. How about you focus on the issue here and the people it could help.
- iamthearm, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0Blah blah blah. Crying wolf again. Buried! When they actually repair spinal cord injuries w/ nose cell's, now that's a story.
- greyrat, on 11/24/2008, -1/+0Lay off the blow people! Especially if you have a bad back. Use oxycontin instead.
- musntSurfatWork, on 11/24/2008, -2/+0my back ache stinks.
- palindrome12, on 11/24/2008, -3/+1I wonder what butt cells would cure?
- damage999, on 11/24/2008, -5/+0Oh *****, his back went out, Quick, pick his nose !!!!!!!!!!
