Footed invalid rats
Researchers at the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (Switzerland) have managed to get paraplegic rats walking again.
The team led by Gregoire Courtin has been able to fully restore the mobility of disabled rats, which have been left behind. To do this, three techniques have been applied: on the one hand, the rats were given a molecular cocktail; minutes later, an electrical stimulation was performed with electrodes located in the spine; and, finally, with a hard rehabilitation, the rats began to walk.
The starting point for researchers has been the work of Charles Scott Sherrington, who won the Nobel Prize in 1932. According to him, in bone marrow injuries, the circuit is usually not dead, but asleep, and what we have to do is reactivate these circuits.
The implementation of this project will be carried out in humans within a year or back. To do so, they have chosen a young man with paraplegia as a result of an accident.

Colorful, bright, in shapes as strange as beautiful, nudibranchs seem to be coming beings from another planet. These naked creatures of the seabed dress the vivid colors of the crests of the 1980s and the architectural fashion of the great names of the Parisian seam.
