Brain Cell Transplant

I saw on the news several days ago about an experimental surgery that transplanted brain cells (neurons) into a stroke victim's brain and the results were almost miraculous.  These transplants are being done on patients who had a severe stroke up to 5 or more years ago.  One woman who was told she would never be able the see, much less walkagain, was given this so called tranplant and she seemed almost fully recovered.  She could see and walk on her own.  I'd really appreciate any information regarding this new surgery and who is performing it.  Thanks
