Scientists grew mini human spinal cords, then made them repair after injury
Scientists have taken a major step toward treating spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. In lab dishes, researchers at Northwestern University grew tiny organoids of the human spinal cord. Then, ...
Spinal cord injuries cause permanent paralysis in part because inflammation, cell death, and glial scarring block nerve regeneration, and there has been no reliable human tissue model to test ...
