A Paralyzed Mice, With Spinal Cord Injury, Was Made To Work After 2-3 Weeks Of Receiving An Innovative Treatment, Which Involves Injecting Designer Protein Into The Brain To Stimulate The Paralyzed Nerve Cells To Establish Neural Link That Was Considered, Until Now, Irreparable In Mammals. A Lot More Testing Is Needed Before Use On Humans.
German scientists make paralyzed mice walk againGerman researchers have enabled mice paralyzed after spinal cord injuries to walk again, re-establishing a neural link hitherto considered irreparable in mammals by using a designer protein injected into the brain. Spinal cord injuries in humans, often caused by sports or traffic accidents, leave them paralyzed because not all of the nerve fibers that carry information between muscles and the brain are able to grow back. But the researchers from Ruhr University Bochum managed to stimulate the paralyzed mice’s nerve cells to regenerate using a designer protein.
