New therapy triggers neurite growth, reduces scarring in injured organoids
Scientists at Northwestern University have developed the most advanced human spinal cord organoid model to study injury and regeneration. In new work from the lab ofSamuel Stupp, researchers demonstrated that a regenerative “dancing molecules” therapy promotes neurite growth and reduces scar-like tissue, advancing efforts toward treatments for spinal cord injury.
