    A new injection treatment for spinal cord injuries uses specially manufactured molecules that prompt spinal cord cells to respond through a healing process


    In a new injection therapy to repair spinal cord injuries, molecules form nanofibers that "dance" and communicate with cells to make it more likely to repair the damaged spinal cord


    effects of treatment

    Every year, thousands of people suffer from spinal injuries, often resulting in paralysis


    If it could do the same in humans, those with severe spinal cord injuries could have a chance to walk again


    Summarize

    A key part of this research into new treatments for spinal cord injury is being conducted at APS, a user facility of the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science at Argonne National Laboratory


    These molecules are injected into the spinal cord as a fluid, where they clump together to form tiny fibrous structures (called nanofibers) that surround the spinal cord
