Paralyzed mice are able to WALK AGAIN within four weeks

Paralyzed mice are able to WALK AGAIN within four weeks following breakthrough treatment to rebuild spinal fluid cells, researchers say

• The team of scientists behind the newly-published research hope to approach the Food and Drug Administration as early as next year for human trials 
• The team used nanofibers to mimic the architecture of the naturally occurring network of molecules surrounding tissue that is responsible for supporting cells 
• The therapy was injected as a gel into tissue surrounding the spinal cords of lab mice 24 hours after an incision was made in their spines 
• Four weeks later, mice who received the treatment regained their ability to walk almost as well as before the injury. Those left untreated did not
