Regenerations of Neurons that Restore Walking in Mice after Paralysis from Spinal Cord Injury
Dr. Zhigang He, along with a research team from UCLA, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and Harvard University have uncovered a crucial component for restoring functional activity after spinal cord injury. The neuroscientists have shown that re-growing specific neurons back to their natural target regions led to recovery, while random regrowth was not effective.
