Regeneration across complete spinal cord injuries reverses paralysis in mice

A complete spinal cord injury leads to irreversible paralysis. Scientists at .NeuroRestore, in Switzerland, report in Science that they have developed a gene therapy that was proven in mice to stimulate nerve regrowth across such injuries and guide nerves to reconnect to their natural targets below the injuries in order to restore motor function.

When this will be available for spinal cord complete injury patients for making us walk again in all over the world

[johnbould]

Fascinating...hope this effort gets priority funding...

[zgirl]

So looking forward to this being more widely available. My son is a perfect candidate for this advancement.

I’m not expecting this to happen in my lifetime but if it did man wouldn’t we be lucky

[y.o.r.constructoninvestmen]

When do you start with the clinical trials please let us know we want to start to be with that clinical trial

Q. Is there a time limit on treatment post injury ? In other words, will it be possible for someone who was a SCI injury patient 5 years ago or will it only work on a person who is recently injured? My injury is incomplete quad so any improvement would be great, but for someone who is complete and wheelchair bound this treatment would be bloody incredible !

Please let me know when clinical trials are available

I have been following this progress for 11 years. I guess we will figure it out within 100-200 years.

I would love to know if this could be able for people affected with spina bifida and not just cord injuries? I’m asking as a single mom for my son who has spina bifida myelomeningocyle.

[Yoozzef_Shaa]

I am a spinalcord complete injury patient.Will I ever be able to walk in my life?😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[patelph]

My daughter has incomplete SCI at Thoracic level and is 7 years old. Please let me know when this experiment progresses into more practical into humans.

[hiongun]

guys, this is at least 10 years away for patients.
so, keep your heath as long as possible

Where can I sign up to do research? I have a complete spinal cord injury from the neck below

[Koba]

Is it available ? how can I have access to this?

[LindaGalloway-sh]

My husband has an incomplete spinal cord injury with some fusion. Would this therapy help him? Currently he is quadriplegic.

[dustin]

I need this for my autoimmune disease called ADEM that happened 3 years ago and paralyzed my legs ughh. I have incomplete paralysis

[accordingtoabe]

So how do i contact these specialists to heal me if money isnt an issue? I just want their treatment. Why isn't this research or development getting more attention and coverage? Please answer

[isaacsyed]

When will human trials begin? I am interested. I have a T9 complete injury.

[jamic]

How many years were lost without stem cell research in the U.S.? Think of how far we’d have come.

[nonlinearthinking]

So is this only for those who have had an injury or could be tried on young adults born with spinal deficiencies?
