manouli, it worked okay for me, i.e. full sound. Try it again. Can you hear the advertisement? If not, check that the little speaker at the top screen is not muted. When the main video starts playing, check that the 4th icon from the right at the bottom of the screen (the volume) is not muted or turned way down? Hope this helps.

Wow! That's encouraging!

Well hopefully there are six people in China that are going to have a much better 2015, than they'll ever realize. Sounds pretty damn awesome. About those cheap flights to China!

With all the trials going on, say this one works (who knows) and in 6 months all 36 guys are walking and on there way to say normal. How long would it take to even be available to others?

How to contact these doctors to get some updates?

Maybe a dumb question, but doesn't cutting out the scarred area create more scarring?

Tang Fengwu from the China Police Neurological Hospital explained the procedure, detailing that a first surgery was performed on the patient which resulted in a scar covering the damaged part in the man's spine. The scar tissue was cut out, revealing a gap about 2.8 centimeters in size. A tube filled with stem cells was then inserted into the gap and then sealed to end the surgery.
