Israel to Carry Out First Spinal Cord Transplant

Clickbait title. Later on they call it "implant", not transplant. Of course they don't replace the spinal cord and there isn't even a donator involved.

The procedure begins with blood cells from the patient, which are reprogrammed into stem-cell-like cells capable of becoming any cell type. Fat tissue is also collected to create a custom hydrogel scaffold, into which the stem-like cells develop into a spinal cord structure. This engineered tissue is then implanted, replacing scarred areas and reconnecting the nervous system.
