I find this part most interesting:
"Three participants (2, 7, 8) regained motor control. i.e., converted to AIS C or D, at the 1-month examination. Other three (4, 5, 6) converted to grade C after 3 months. In the present study we observed that, in contrast to the expected baseline conversion of 15%, 75% (6/8) of the participants regained voluntary motor control after polylaminin treatment. If we consider only those participants that reached discharge, the proportion increases to 100% (6/6)."
Sometimes drug and medical device companies will gag patients with non-disparagement agreements, while letting the success stories post freely on social media to promote their product/procedure/etc.

I think it's actually this one, or perhaps a new one after it:

That paper is an in vitro demonstration whereas the OP article seems to imply they tested on actual patients?
Yes, it was tested on patients. @ bfdrummond on Instagram was the first one - he is now almost 100% recovered
Do we know of other patients?

Hey FYI, this isnt the place for that type of comment. This isn't Reddit, and we don't want it to become such.
Unnuanced, potentially inflammatory quips about a vaguely related current political situation just aren't appropriate here.
There are plenty of ways to express the same sentiment without resorting to the type of commentary that is common elsewhere.
I encourage you to read the community guidelines for HN.
