Excerpt:

Kris Bosen, a 21-year old man from Bakersfield, California, underwent a landmark stem cell therapy procedure which is allowing him to heal from a state of paralysis that he feared would be with him for his entire life. When Bosen was younger, he was in a severe car accident that left him permanently paralyzed from the neck down.

Charles Liu, director of the USC Neurorestoration Center, lead surgeon of the team did the transplant, said that this was a very experimental procedure, and referred to it as a “study.” Bosen was injected with an experimental dose of 10 million AST-OPC1 cells at the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, California. The dose was shot directly into Boesen’s cervical spinal cord.

“Typically, spinal cord injury patients undergo surgery that stabilizes the spine but generally does very little to restore motor or sensory function. With this study, we are testing a procedure that may improve neurological function, which could mean the difference between being permanently paralyzed and being able to use one’s arms and hands. Restoring that level of function could significantly improve the daily lives of patients with severe spinal injuries,” Liu explained.

It has been nearly three years since Bosen received the treatment in April of 2016, and he has shown incredible progress during rehabilitation. It took only two weeks for Bosen to regain control and sensation in his arms and hands.

Sometimes you just have to be the change you wish to see in a Waffle House.'

Last Saturday night, thanks to a scheduling error, a gentleman named Ben was the only employee who showed up to work the late night shift at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama. According to what witnesses told AL.com, around midnight, a mysterious man in a blue shirt stood up from the counter, asked Ben for an apron, and went to work bussing tables and washing dishes. A representative from Waffle House said that security footage from that night confirms the existence of the mysterious man in blue, and also shows two other customers who—instead of jumping on their phones to complain about Ben’s lousy service on Yelp—jumped in to run food and stack plates while Ben took orders and ran the grill.

Finding happiness is no guarantee for pets awaiting adoption at animal shelters — especially for dogs like Jack.

At age 13, Jack is very much a senior pup, requiring a bit more care and attention than his younger counterparts. So, after his former owner passed away and Jack ended up at the Pennsylvania SPCA, all he could was hope that someone would come along to give an older dog like him a chance.And thankfully, someone did.

Last weekend, a kindly man walked into the shelter with just one request: "[He] asked to see an old dog in need of a home," the shelter wrote in a post.They directed the man to Jack, noting the pup had some ailments that would need to be addressed. Though some other adopters may have seen those things as flaws, this man felt differently: "He said, 'He's perfect, I'll take him. What vet do you recommend I take him to?'" the shelter said. In the man, Jack had found a new best friend — and he knew it.
