If that could be done routinely, it would be an enormous boon to the disabled. But not, perhaps, as enormous as what is being proposed by Gregoire Courtine, of the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland. For he and his colleagues have just published a paper in Science in which they explain how they coaxed the paralysed to walk again. And not just to walk, but to run, avoid obstacles and even sprint up a staircase. Unfortunately for those crippled by injury, the paralysed creatures in question were rats. But the results are so extraordinary that they should give hope to human sufferers. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
