-A scientific breakthrough may enable paralysed people to walk again as researches have created human spinal cord implants”
-3D implants, made using human cells, had an 80% success rate in restoring the ability to walk in paralysed mice
The team’s strategy differs from current approaches which use cell therapy to try and heal spinal damage. Where conventionally different cell types or biomaterials are injected into the site of injury with the hopes that these cells with proliferate and grow on their own inside the body, the new spinal cord implant is first grown in the lab.
“Injected cells are isolated and need to form a neuronal network and be integrated with healthy tissue,” said Dvir. “In our lab, we engineer this tissue to form the network in a dish, and only after we have a fully formed 3D neuronal network do we transplant them. The only thing they need to do in the body is connect with the healthy tissue, which is much easier to do.”
-the researchers hope to reach the stage of clinical trials in humans within the next few years
My husband was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease at 67. His symptoms were shuffling of feet, slurred speech, low volume speech, degradation of handwriting, horrible driving skills, and his right arm is held at 45 degree angle. He was placed on Sinemet for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. We tried every shot available but nothing was working. There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment, I quit my meds due to side effects. Our care provider introduced us to Kycuyu Health Clinic Parkinson’s herbal treatment. The treatment is a miracle. My husband has recovered significantly! Visit kycuyuhealthclinic. co…
