Article: 7 min

A UC Davis Health research team has successfully performed the world's first in-utero stem cell therapy for fetal spina bifida repair, a groundbreaking procedure that combines standard fetal surgery with placenta-derived stem cells to improve outcomes and potentially enhance mobility and quality of life for affected children.

This breakthrough could lead to significant improvements in the quality of life for children with spina bifida, offering new treatment options and potentially reducing long-term complications.

First-ever in-utero stem cell therapy for fetal spina bifida repair is safe.
Trial tested the safety of adding a layer of human placenta-derived stem cells to standard fetal surgery.
No safety concerns related to the stem cells, no infections or abnormal tissue growth at the repair site.
All surgeries were successful and all wounds healed completely.
MRI scans showed reversal of hindbrain herniation in all infants.
