Gene Therapy Restores Walking After Paralysis

Researchers have used a designer cytokine, hIL-6, to "rewire" the spinal cord by stimulating the sprouting of new connections from intact nerve fibers. This approach successfully restored coordinated walking in paralyzed mice, highlighting a powerful new strategy for treating spinal cord contusions.
