Regeneration across complete spinal cord injuries reverses paralysis medicalxpress.com

When the spinal cords of mice and humans are partially damaged, the initial paralysis is followed by the extensive, spontaneous recovery of motor function. However, after a complete spinal cord injury, this natural repair of the spinal cord doesn't occur and there is no recovery. Meaningful recovery after severe injuries requires strategies that promote the regeneration of nerve fibers, but the requisite conditions for these strategies to successfully restore motor function have remained elusive.

New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease scitechdaily.com

This is fascinating as it works contrary to how most vaccines work. The usual method is to teach the immune system to attack things ( Covid, Polio, Influenza, etc, etc). This does the opposite, it makes the immune system forget to attack things it shouldn't be attacking. The list of autoimmune diseases is long, and many people suffer from them. That said, this is only a Phase 1 Clinical trial. That will test if the vaccine is safe, and see what its side-effects are. The journey from amazing lab results to a viable treatment is rocky, and often ends in failure. Still, if this can prove its potential as a treatment it will be revolutionary.
