Ella Badrudin – Adult Stem Cell Patient for CP

Ella Badrudin, a toddler with CP, received umbilical cord stem cells in Hangzhou, China in an effort to improve her condition. In this video her parents talk about the improvements they have seen over their past two visits for treatment. While the form of umbilical cord stem cell therapy offered in Hangzhou is not a cure for CP it does offer the chance to improve the patient's quality of life.
