Millions of people around the world are confined to a wheelchair due to Spinal cord injuries (SCI), rendering them paralyzed. There is no known cure. People with SCI are destined to remain in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives, bearing all the social, financial and health related costs of their conditions. That is (perhaps) until now. If Israeli scientists are correct, millions of people will soon be able to accomplish what most people take for granted; the ability to walk again.

Israeli researchers from Tel Aviv university have been conducting research on paralyzed mice, some of whom were recently paralyzed, while others long term. After being given spinal implants from the cells of people, 12 of the 15 were able to walk again without issue. For the mice whose injuries were most recent, 100% of them became fully mobile, while for those with longer term paralysis, 80% were able to walk.

Professor Tal Dvir, head of the research team, believes trials will be able to commence in humans in less than 3 years. He said that since the tests on the mice were conducted with human cells, the process is already in an advanced stage!

The process begins with a small biopsy from the belly. Small fatty tissues are taken from the patients, and the fat cells are separated from other materials such as sugar and collagen. The cells are then reprogramed (using genetic engineering methods) and placed for 30 days into a substance that was made from the non-cellular material from the fat tissues gathered from the biopsy. The embryonic development of the spinal cord is mimicked, producing spinal cord micro-neuron tissue at which point they are implanted into the spinal cord. When applied to human patients, the cells will be taken from their own bodies in order to enable regeneration of the damaged tissue without the possibility of rejection, and to eliminate the need to suppress the immune system of recipients.

The Israeli researchers are confident that this will be successful in humans and believe that the technology can be applied in the treatment of other diseases and injuries including Parkinson’s and brain trauma. If they are correct, this will arguably be the greatest medical breakthrough in human history.
