‘Miracle’ stem cell therapy reverses multiple sclerosis

[MSUK]

A pioneering new stem cell treatment is allowing people with multiple sclerosis to walk, run and even dance again, in results branded ‘miraculous’ by doctors.

Patients who have been wheelchair-bound for 10 years have regained the use of their legs in the groundbreaking therapy, while others who were blind can now see again.

The treatment is the first to ‘reverse’ the symptoms of MS, which has no cure, and affects around 100,000 people in Britain...... Read More - http://www.ms-uk.org/stemcells

Thanks.

I stumbled across this study as-well, but was thrown by the references to the original article stating it all occurred at London

The two dozen patients who are taking part in the trials at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield and Kings College Hospital, London, have effectively had their immune systems ‘rebooted’.

while the above article states:

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS:
Case series of patients with relapsing-remitting MS (n = 123) or secondary-progressive MS (n = 28) (mean age, 36 years; range, 18-60 years; 85 women) treated at a single US institution between 2003 and 2014 and followed up for 5 years. Final follow-up was completed in June 2014.

Are you certain that they are one and the same?

I think they are. I went by the author and journal mentioned. Basil Sharrack is listed by Pubmed as being from the Sheffield Teaching Hospital. There were 141 patients involved in the study. It's possible that 24 of them were treated in the US and then had follow-up in London.
