Man regains spinal cord function and walks with cell transplants...

Yes, possibly the procedure that could have given Christopher Reeve a second chance, and highly unusual.

The paralyzed man was the victim of a knife attack four years ago. The procedure did not use the expected stem cells that are often credited with amazing repairs (such as current experiments to restore the vision of persons blinded by some forms of degenerative eye disease). some of the man's NASAL CAVITY cells were transplanted to his spinal cord, apparently the only known way to accomplish this at present.

I thought the parts came from his nose, not his mat ? Unless he sneezed them out first ? I'm confused. I'd rather hear more about the water into wine thing, though water into beer would be better.

What's all these crazy questions you're asking me?
