Foreign scientists implement technique developed by British university to help everyone in the world with spinal injuries.

However, scientists in Poland used cells from Mr Fidyka’s nose to re-grow nerve cells which were then inserted into his spine, fixing the broken link.

It is the first time the procedure has been shown to work on a human. Professor Geoffrey Raisman, whose team at UCL first discovered the technique, said: ‘We believe that this procedure is the breakthrough which, as it is further developed, will result in a historic change in the currently hopeless outlook for people disabled by spinal cord injury.’
