Targeting Key Cells in Spinal Cord Got Paralyzed Patients Walking Again
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 9, 2022 -- In an advance in treating spinal cord injuries, researchers have pinpointed nerve cells that are key to allowing people with paralysis to walk again.

Study pinpoints neurons that may help paralyzed people walk again
It seems like something out of science fiction: People paralyzed from a motorcycle or other accident are suddenly able to walk again when doctors jolt their spinal cord with electricity. Now, scientists have pinpointed the nerve cell population that’s responsible—at least in injured mice—potentially opening the door to new treatments for paralysis.
This work “is finally getting at the important contributors to recovery,” says Sarah Mondello, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington, Seattle, who was not involved with the study.
A bad fall or car accident can sever nerve connections in the spin...
