Lab-grown human spinal cords heal after injury with new therapy

sciencedaily.com

Lab-grown human spinal cords successfully healed after simulated injury using "dancing molecules." Researchers created realistic human spinal cord organoids, replicated injury damage including scarring, and observed nerve fiber regrowth and scar reduction after treatment. This breakthrough suggests the therapy could potentially repair human spinal cord damage, with future organoids aiming to model chronic injuries and personalized medicine applications.
