Summary:

For the first time ever, stem cells from umbilical cords have been converted into other types of cells, which may eventually lead to new treatment options for spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis, among other nervous system diseases.


Critique:
Is there any other ways of converting these types of things into new treatments?


Impact:
Could lead to an impact of different peoples lives with injuries that may affect wether or not they would live.
