Resumen de When stem cell therapies backfire
A woman in the US has developed a tumor-like growth in her back eight years after a stem cell treatment to cure her paraplegia failed. There have been a handful of cases of stem cell therapies causing growths but this appears to be the first resulting from an approved clinical trial at a Western hospital. The growth wasn't cancerous, but it was secreting a "thick, copious mucus-like material" which is probably why it was pressing on her spine, says Brian Dlouhy at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, the neurosurgeon who removed the growth.
