3D-printed scaffolds guide stem cells to repair damage from spinal cord injury
SMRTR summary
University of Minnesota researchers developed a 3D-printed scaffold system that guides stem cells to repair severed spinal cords. When implanted in rats with complete cord injuries, the scaffolds allowed neural progenitor cells to form new connections and significantly improve function, potentially offering hope for the 300,000+ Americans living with spinal cord injuries.
