Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI’s) are a tragic and unavoidable hazard of life, with accidents occurring in every country, to all manner of people, every hour of every day.
Once damaged, the spinal cord is currently irreparable, meaning permanent paralysis and a myriad of associated problems for the affected individual. The severity of the damage varies with each injury, but some higher injuries can even leave the victim unable to breathe unassisted.
It has now been proven in animal models that the spinal cord can indeed be regenerated, and this needs to be translated for use in patients as soon as is safely possible. A severe lack of funding is currently the biggest roadblock in moving these promising therapies from the laboratory to human clinical trials.
