Paralysis cure next? Electric spinal implant restores movement in injured rats
SMRTR summary
A University of Auckland study has shown promising results in restoring movement and sensation in rats with spinal cord injuries using a small electrical implant. The device, placed over the injury site, stimulates healing through controlled electrical currents. After four weeks of daily treatment, rats demonstrated improved mobility and faster responses to touch. Researchers hope this technology could be developed into a medical device for humans with spinal cord injuries, potentially revolutionizing paralysis treatment.
