Formula One legend Michael Schumacher is "conscious" after being taken to a Paris hospital for stem cell treatment, a nurse has reportedly told a French newspaper.
Le Parisien newspaper reported earlier this week that Schumacher has been in the hospital's cardiovascular surgery department since Monday and is in the care
of cardiac surgeon Professor Philippe Menasché, who specialises in cell therapy to treat heart failure.
Little has been seen or revealed about the seven-time Formula One champion's condition since his skiing accident in the French Alps almost six years ago.
The same newspaper reported overnight that a nurse revealed Schumacher is "conscious". Schumacher's former Ferrari boss Jean Todt reportedly visited him for 45 minutes yesterday.
The report claimed that Schumacher has been benefiting from infusions of stem cells that are distributed in the body to obtain a systemic anti-inflammatory action.
