Dallas was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at just 8 months old. In 2008, he became one of the first children in the United States to undergo an experimental treatment at Duke University to infuse his cord blood stem cells.

Surgeons have, for the first time, used a combination of an artificial heart and stem cells to save the life of a dying man.

Ioannis Manolopoulos was fitted with the mechanical pump because his heart was too weak to push blood around his body. Surgeons then injected his failing heart muscle with six million of his stem cells in the hope that they would repair the damage. Speaking exclusively to Sky News, he said he owed the British and Greek surgeons his life. He said: “If things go well, I must go to church and pray because I feel very lucky to get this device and have the chance of a normal life.”



When Chloe Levine was 9-months-old, her parents noticed she couldn’t hold her bottle with her right hand. That wasn’t her only developmental setback. Chloe, of Pinetop, Arizona, was unable to raise both hands above her head, and she could not crawl. At 12 months, a CAT scan showed a portion of the left side of Chloe’s brain had not developed and contained fluid. Seeking answers, Chloe’s parents, Ryan and Jenny Levine took their daughter to a neurologist who diagnosed the toddler with right-side hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
