flag A small U.S. trial found that applying placenta-derived stem cells during fetal surgery for spina bifida is safe and may improve outcomes. flag Six fetuses with the condition received stem cells alongside standard in-utero repair at 24–25 weeks. flag After birth, infants showed no complications, improved motor function, and reversal of brain abnormalities seen in severe cases. flag Researchers say the therapy may help repair nerve damage, but larger trials are needed to confirm long-term benefits and effectiveness.
