FLASHBACK: Top 10 stories in April - Paraplegics moving legs again to artificial blood

April flew by with some very fascinating advancements!

My particular favorite is the advancement using electrical stimulation to enable paraplegics to move their lower body again.  After personally being in a similar situation, I can only imagine the joy and hope this gives to those with current spinal injuries.

It's amazing how much the human race can progress in one month.  Many of the stories below used to be considered science fiction.  However, that fiction is slowly becoming fact and present in our reality.
