Indeed. I can think of few injuries that would be more horrific than being paralyzed.

Sounds awesome, but I do hope they can develop this mechanism but keep it under control.

Other articles I’ve read about these various cell-proliferation inhibitor proteins in our bodies conjecture that they exist to prevent tumors.

Hmm... One step closer to brain transplantation.

Maybe one day that might be possible... and then applied as a cure for stupidity.

This is “progress” I can get behind. It would come to market a lot faster without the next 10-20 years of FDA BS it will now have to endure.

maybe so, but perhaps this knowledge could be applied in a
local fashion so only the injured area is treated.

>Maybe these types of therapies could be used for other
forms of nerve disorders such as nerve deafness, multiple
sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, etc....

...it all does show how amazingly intricate and complex
life is...we is no longer “a bag of protoplasm”...

Wow! A triple! New record (personal best!).....

Seriesly, though, fatigue and a quirky mouse and a balky connection combine sometimes to have me apologize for duplicate pings.
