(STUDY FINDS) – A two-year-old girl with cerebral palsy may be able to walk again – thanks to her baby brother. Toddler Isla Duffy will travel to Duke University Hospital in North Carolina this August to undergo a stem cell treatment that makes use of the blood from her six-month-old baby brother Leo’s umbilical cord.
The blood is rich with stem cells, which scientists believe gives it amazing regenerative properties that may also give it the ability to treat different cancers, immune system deficiencies, and genetic disorders. Isla was deprived of oxygen and suffered a seizure shortly after birth in January 2021, leading to the development of cerebral palsy — a debilitating condition which impairs motor functions. It has left Isla unable to verbally communicate and gives her extremely limited mobility.

Currently, there is no known cure for the condition, but pioneering research in the United States has found success in treating cerebral palsy’s effects using stem cells.
