When the is damaged, the resulting is usually considered permanent. Now, a new approach using lab-grown organoid models led by the 🇬🇧 University of Cambridge suggests that it actually might be reversed.
Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect up, which underlies our movements. They used this model to show how damage to these connections previously considered ‘irreversible’ could, in fact, be reversible.
