Vitals - Awakened: Immune cells revive woman in coma: Researchers from the University of Munich recently reported that they were able to awaken an 82-year-old woman who’d been in a persistent vegetative state by using injections of her own immune cells. The woman, who had suffered a stroke, had been cared for at home by her family and a home health nurse -- for nine long years.
Editor: What was it, a coma or a "persistent vegetative state"? They're not the same.
