A scientific breakthrough may enable paralysed people to walk again as researchers have created human spinal cord implants in a world first.
The 3D implants, made using human cells, had an 80% success rate in restoring the ability to walk in paralysed mice in the laboratory, researchers said.
Tissue samples from patients are transformed into functioning spinal cord implants through a process that mimics the development of the spinal cord in human embryos.
