Samuel Stupp on Dancing Molecules: A New Hope for Spinal Cord Injuries
The therapy was designed to be active in the central nervous system, and so it's correct. What was said earlier? That, because the brain and the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system and then. We are looking forward to exploring its use and other indications for example stroke.
Imagine a world where spinal cord injuries could be treated with tiny, dancing molecules. Sounds like science fiction, right? In this eye-opening episode of 'American Medicine Today', Samuel Stupp, a professor at Northwestern University, shares his groundbreaking research that could make this a reality. Stupp, who specializes in Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Medicine, and Biomedical Engineering, delves into his innovative therapy designed to be active in the central nervous system.
These 'dancing molecules' have shown promise in reversing paralysis in mouse models, and there’s hope they could also tackle other neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and MS. While human trials are still on the horizon, the potential for this treatment to revolutionize medicine is enormous. Stupp's enthusiasm is contagious as he discusses the future possibilities and the impact this could have on countless lives.
Tune in to hear about the science behind these dancing molecules and what it could mean for the future of spinal cord injury treatment.
