A stem-cell transplant on the
first three patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been
carried out at a Church-run hospice at San Giovanni Rotondo, the
head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Msgr Vincenzo Paglia,
said Wednesday. Paglia made the announcement at the academy's
national assembly. The transplant marked the start of testing
led by Angelo Vescovi, head of the Revert Onlus non-profit
medical organisation and the Ospedale Casa Sollievo della
Sofferenza at San Giovanni Rotondo. The patients were said to be
well and not presenting any side effects.
