While its good news for that specific patient, there is not sufficient data to conclude it was the nose-cells which improved his injury.
The news articles definitely overstate the results of the paper and gloss over the fact that the spine wasn't fully severed in the patient.
I tried searching in PubMed to see if there is a follow-up to this since it was published in October of 2014 but there hasn't been one yet.
