- US scientists have successfully reversed paralysis in mice, bringing them a step closer to achieving similar results in humans.
A new therapy injected into the spinal cords encouraged molecules to "dance", promoting regeneration in damaged nerves.
The team hopes to begin trials in human patients within two years.

Being a partially paralysed person I wish this clinical trial success soon .. can't wait to walk freely without braces .. oh God what a tremendous scientific discovery it would be !
May Allah bless you with health and happiness
good luck.... i wish u can walk again
I wish you well.
This is remarkable news, I will be praying for you and others for success
Goodluck hopefully it becomes a reality. 🙏
Can you imagine. What an amazing breakthrough this would be. Humanity has hope in science.
I don’t trust science. Climate cri sis due to over population and they want to vaxxinate everyone? Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out what is happening here. 🤷♂️
@UCA_1yG92u0ecGETYfZFrPFg fuck off back to Facebook
@@Reactivate100 you don’t trust because you don’t understand or be able to comprehend what is happening, because of this you don’t believe this is true because it’s what you can comprehend. You’re in denial.

This is amazing! As a person with a spinal cord injury, any progress in research or clinical trials is something that gives me a glimmer of hope. I cried watching this, it's absolutely amazing. I became paralyzed 2 years ago at the age of 34. To have the ability to walk taken away from you in the blink of eye, the word devastating doesn't do it justice. I thank God for people like this who try to help change the lives of so so many of us out here that would give anything to be able to walk again.
Hope you get better man. Keep strong with friends and family.
I will pray for you. Sometimes prayers do get answered. Miracles do happen 🙏
@@KumariKumari-fw7nc BS prayer never helps .
Don't count on this coming to America a patient cured is a customer lost this offers a huge loss to big pharma.
@@markedgette5463 did you even watch the video? This treatment was invented in America.
This is good news. Had a mate who got paralysis from neck to toe after getting injured by diving in a shallow pool. I will trade anything to get him back but due to these great scientists I can. It may be 10 or 20 years but I cannot wait for the day he can walk on his feet.
Hopefully yes but there’s a long way to go.
have you tried electro acupuncture, if the axon has a kink or break, it probably will not work, but if the axon is in tact the electroacupuncture may awaken the curent, it has a relay circuit inner axon and an outer axon.
@Abdo Abdo no not really as its not really known, we live in a world of evidence and proof instead of ideology and logical thought so it will take 10 years before the data is there, but yes it can awaken the communication channels between the axon neurons and dendrites, think of the axons as copper wires, there made of tiny fibres, each sending electrical current to muscles and nerves contracting ect, if the current doesn't flow then the circuit is broken and you get paralysis, so you can either repair the damaged axon segment the kink or break, it is possible but it beyond humanity at this stage I think, I put below, or sometimes if there is no break and no kink, it the copper wire is in geometric tact then it is either a electrical current disruption between the inner axon and the smaller out axons, or there is a problem with the myelin sheif or bad swelling in the Schwann cells that make up the myelin sheif, even a crease in the myelin can affect this, so sometime electro acupuncture can awaken a dead or old disconnected circuit, or there is a surgery option that again is beyond humanity at this stage and there is no data or records as its futuristic, a risky operation, taking a section of the cord away and rebuild the section with Nano scaffolds, connect with molecular mix, affix the myelin sheif and use nigella sativa to iron out creases, then use electroacupuncture to awaken the nerves again, risky though as each axon strand has hundreds of tiny fibres that all need connecting precisely, the pression is something a human probably couldn't do, the Nano scaffolds would be made from stem cell and the DNA from a rib and copying the molecular composition from the section you removed, the damaged section either with a crease or kink in the axon that has squashed the axon stopping the electrical current, this can revers all paralysis but I am unsure where we are at this level on earth yet, the precision of the joins and the molecular mix needed would probably be a job for an AI robot or something, there is also options with macrophages and Schwann cells, as they can regenerate and take base cells, I don't think any of this is taught in universities,. a high quality 3D printer using the biomolecular properties from each piece in the axon myelin and spinal cord and fluid could be replicated with carbon and amino acid chains, I think we are a little off this level though.
@Abdo Abdo This is not normal acupuncture, and yes axons send electrical current to nerves and muscles, so yes they are like copper wires, its a circuit system in the body, and no I have knowledge that they don't know or teach in universities, I'm qualified but not from here. my growing mind set is different. I know how the body works it reality not from charts.
@Abdo Abdo if you read my statement you will see that i said as long as its not broken or has a kink, as long as the geometric shape is the same, and by the way neurons are in the brain not the spine. good day sir.
I hope all the people that live with spinal injury can get this as soon as possible so they can live normal lives again
"A step closer" - see what they did there.
Good news, really good news and about time.
Yes I do see what they did, I think everyone did. That joke is a bit old tbh.
@@zoekenny3619 actually I hadn't seen what they did there but now I do.
Wt happened?
This is something to really be hopeful about, and do we ever need that! What an incredible thing this will be.
As a spinal injury patient for the last 6 years this is a ray of hope.
I suffered a T5 spinal cord injury in June 22nd, I was on the road towards the Marine Corp and was about to go to MEPS to prepare for boot camp. I graduated high school in May and went on a little trip with two friends of mine up to the mountains; we were excited for the rest of our lives and finally reaching adulthood, but I lost all of my aspirations after I woke up in the hospital and realized I couldn’t feel or move my legs. I am a South Eastern Asian immigrant and was raised by two amazing parents, I intended to repay them by going into the military and taking care of them for the rest of their lives, but now they are the ones who have to take care of me. This is a glimmer of hope in a world that seems to be filled with darkness, I pray that this will progress even further.
@Pam Rolls By I haven’t made much steps forward in my life. We seem to have similar areas of our spine affected, so I’m glad we can relate. I would trade an eye to be able to use my trunk properly. It would make life a bit easier, but I can’t pretend I have it the worst. I am hoping I’ll be able to kick my butt into gear because I have been doing nothing except staying in my home and waiting for a cure to come to me. I need to be realistic about this, it seems, but I hope we’ll be able to stand on our own two feet someday
My little brother was paralyzed the day before his freshman year of college. I pray for you all. You’ll get through this. I know you will. Stay strong❤
This would be amazing. Hope first in human trials can start sooner rather than later 🙏🏻
I have a paralysed friend, I will be very happy if he can walk again
That's Amazing I have a family member who like many was paralyzed after a accident I would love to see something like this gain a ton of traction and be available to the world it would be more then life changing for many.
I believe this should not cost a dime. It also helps every country the more people u have working instead of living off scial security, government paid insurance.....all that fun stuff.
Why......if it works for a damn mouse, aren't they experimenting these things on humans. This mouse walking around shows me nothing more than......A MOUSE WALKING AROUND. We dont know if that mouise was ever really paralyzed or made to ve paralyzed, ONLY TO SEE THE RESULTS. That's so cruel. Also after a sci and u haven't used everything like before, for how ever long. There's no way a mouse would juat wake up from surgery an go exploring as if nithing ever happened to his whole body, leg muscles, intestinal track.......yada yada yada
Incredible news! I hope the human testing is successful
Playing devils advocate, doesn’t this imply that there is something “wrong” with the differently-abled that “needs fixing”?
@@yuriythebest the health implications when the spinal cord is injured is tremendous. The consequences of injury can lead to skin and tissue breakdown, infection leading to death, pneumonia, painful spasms, and much more. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Read on spinal cord injuries. It has nothing to do with normal etc. It has to do with quality of life. A healthier long life
@@yuriythebest Yes. Being paralyzed isn't something to be judged for or looked down upon, but it is something that should be fixed (unless you want to be paralyzed, not sure why you would though)
Are you paralyzed? If not, then you have no idea how hard life is. No one likes living with limitations. Stop trying to turn this into something non-PC!
@@yuriythebest yes there’s something wrong the nerves aren’t working are you ok? You maybe don’t realize because you are fortunate enough to type this message with full nerve endings in every part of your body but with some people with paralysis that’s not possible always
would love to see paralysis cured in my lifetime
Why?
@@JamesSmith-vz8yr excuse me?
@@JackScooter17 Why?

I can't imagine what pain may that little creature went through. Btw, thanks to those incredible sceintists for dedicated their efforts and time to this life saving project.
Senti o mesmo. Pobres pratinhos.
Ratinhos
You know there are ways to minimize the pain..? And once the mouse is paralyzed, it doesn’t matter as much.
Damn, four weeks. Now, this is post 2000s medicine.
It might take longer in humans but who knows. The mouse model isn’t 100% comparable, just usually close (and in this case there is significantly less tissue to repair in the mouse give the large size difference).
Plot twist : that mouse is a paid actor
Bruh
I’m literally living on this hope that this becomes a success so I can walk again
I suffer with multiple sclerosis and this would change my life if something came out of it 🙏
I can see this being applicable in neuromuscular diseases if they decide to make that leap. The future of medical science is really exciting
Agreed.
Hope human trails become successful as soon as possible.. Waiting to see my daughter with Sci walking like before... From India ❤️
This is wonderful 👍🏽❤️ so many can be helped
That's amazing how far the science and technologies are going
Great for people who can afford that science and technology.
I'm pretty sure the treatment will be patented and made available for a huge sum of money.
A bit like cancer treatments.
"A step closer". Excellent choice of wording. Truly excellent.
Shut it.
@@ryanstagg7187 No.
@@danierinash7952 yes.
@@ryanstagg7187 You got a problem? Tell me what it is or f**k off.
It is a step closer. It hasn’t even reached human trials. That is a significant issue. That is not a minute issue.
Unbelievable what's ahead for disability,s the scientists doing this research amaze me 😊
My name is nicholette. I’ve been paralyzed from a car accident for 15 years this summer and can assure everyone that this would be amazing. I’m
Young, healthy and resilient if the doctors & scientists doing research need willing participants for human trials. Being someone who could help to get this amazing treatment to people all over our world would be worth being paralyzed in the first place. 💖
I’m so glad I’m alive to see this
That's amazing, God bless you
Imagine being that mouse, you're literally paralysed to be unparalysed😂😂
Wow! What a break through
That mouse was probably hammered by those scientists to paralysis. I feel sad for the mouse.
I was thinking the same thing. They paralyzed that mouse first.
This is the best news we could have! Congratulations to the scientists who made this discovery!
Finally some good news.
I can also see this type of progress going into reverse aging research as well. Very exciting!
Wow! Incredible news! Wish the best of success in human trials !
Thank God for this exciting discovery. May many be helped by it.
This is the true power of science. Hope human trials start soon 🙏
This makes me happy for ppl who really need this to live life :)
mindblowing
Looking forward to this treatment in my lifetime
Amazing! ♥️
Sooo how do those of us with SCI sign up for the trials?
How long out from injury do we need to be or is that going to be a question answered in the trial? Been paralyzed for 23 years here and it DOES make a difference.
Believe this is nvg 291 as they don't say in the video. They are testing in first 3 years of damage..and another beyond first 3 years.
im healthy but this is a revolutionary breakthrough , so amazed and salute to the scientists
I wish it success cause I've seen my father suffered for 5 yrs continuously in one room one bed 😢, it was heartbreaking 😔.
I am 25 years old same situation..
That’s amazing
This is huge
Oh dear lord I wish this really works. My husband was in a bad car accident in 2017 he was crushed between 2 trucks that left him paralyzed. I really hope this shot work. 🙏🙏
This is incredible
This is the kind of news I love ❤
I Have an Aunt Who is Nearly Completely Paralysed . She is 73 , She Desperately Needs it .
No she’s 73.
Oh such wonderful news, love and prayers your way... For cancer too Lord
And there will be still be people protesting this 😂
THANK YOU!!!
I hope one day they will be successful with it i understand coz being paralyzed isn't an easy task with daily life🥺❤️
M desperately waiting for cure from this SPI injury this is amazing hope for me and all the patients of SPI..
That sounds amazing👍🏼👍🏼
Wonderful! Congratulations to te team os scientsts.
What a good news!!!!!!!!!! This brings hopes!!!!!!
“A step closer”??? it’s already been done! I have a friend who severed his spine and got the stem cell treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. He is no longer paralyzed and is living a normal life with the full use of his lower half! He was treated over a decade ago!
Unclear if this is for persons with recent injuries or for paraplegics who have had long term spinal cord injuries.
This is really great news.
How do we apply for the trial?
Wow!!! Such a positive news...will help so many people👍👍
Good news! More of those please
This year a breakthrough in spinal injury and also motor neurone disease, these are not just happening, we understand the body and disease vastly better..
Sincerely hope this works on Humans for those in Need .🙏🙏🙏
It feels like this is long overdue
Wow, this is amazing if successful on humans. But what is this molecule they are using, I hope it will be affordable and available to everyone in need of it.
If it's similar to CRISPER which is basically gene editing, then it's cheap enough that assuming you already had the equipment to do so the cost would be very affordable, in the hundreds of dollars at best.
What happens to the injected stuff when the nerves/bones are done healing?
I bet if you were paralysed you wouldn't even care. I wouldn't, watever can bring my friend ability to walk again and stop carrying a bag of pee everywhere. Like "chemo", you know it is a poison, but you want to live.
Can we apply to get on the trial ? I’ve waited for this moment for 16 years ! Please
I'm suffering spinal cord injury gunshot last 2 years good news me and all spinal cord patient.
The mouse helped
Bless his little soul
Those news are wonderful💗
How long does the paralysis reversal last? Is it a permanent change or does it wear off??
The best medical news!
Such a really good video, hoping for some real improvement! Something of really so great!
I'm looking forward to joining their MS trial.
This so good to hear veterans who lost the ability to walk will be able to once again
I hope so
Thank God for this discovery. I pray human testing works out. The general understanding presently is that nerve cells do not regenerate. This will change all that
Very good reporting bbc 👍
Medicine is so amazing nowadays
A clean incision, rarely happens in humans but I wouldn't bet against this. It's like the vibration triggers the release of activation signals throughout the spine.🤔might work in more than just the spine.
Probably,the best news I've read all year.
This is really good news to hear hopefully this leads to a cure for scoliosis and herniated discs
Sad that the mice have to get there spines cut for this.
get over it. If you saw the alternative way of going about it you would not say shit like that.
Good work by scientists 👏👏..
Now this is awesome
What is the latest update on this, any idea?
Thanks
Great news 🙏 and It is also used for spinal cord injury patients plz replay
awsome.
who are the 25 people (at the time of this post) who gave this medical breakthrough a thumbs down??? WTF?
🤦🏻♂️ 🤷🏻♂️ Lots of stupid people in the world
There are quite a few people it seems who have a blanket policy of disliking all BBC content 🤷♀️. Jokes on them though as even a negative interaction boosts the content in the algorithm (it all counts as engagement). A more effective choice for everyone would be if these people just curated the channel out of their feed and didn’t interact.
omg this is so awesome. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called ADEM. it paralyzed my legs. this gives me lots of hope! I'll be the first in line
Hope to hear of the human testing soon
Wow! Amazing
I need it
How can you sign up for trail. I was involved in a motorcycle accident conducting a funeral escort last year September 2020 and fused and classified as a complete paraplegic. Would love to get some feeling and movement back.
It's called magnet therapy the same magnet as used in speackers is how it's done
Unbelievable.
