Health Medicine Researchers successfully heal rats' broken spines A new study paves the way toward developing a treatment for spinal cord injuries. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. There is currently no way to completely reverse the damage and paralysis that results from a spinal cord injury. One of the biggest obstacles is that neurons die and can't regrow across the damage. Now, researchers have developed a biomedical structure that has given impressive functional recovery to lab rats with severed spinal cords.
