I would love to see them fire up or do anything positive with Neuron research. I really would like to see them help regain bowel/bladder function. It would be a game changer for many of us. I'll take that over walking at this point.

Is too early to be hyped. This could perfectly end in nothing, like 95% of SCI research.

Exactly that ^. It's exciting for sure. All research is. But still a long way to go. Also, is 4 months really considered long term post injury? I would think at least a year to make that claim.

Anybody had time to read the paper? It's free, just download the pdf at the link posted by lunasicc

I wish Grammy is here to explain difference from Dr. Blackmore gene therapy.

I miss Grammy. Hope she is healthy and comes back soon.

Few days ago i came across gene doping on discovery channel and i immediatly wondered how that could change our inhability to regenerate neurons and axons in the central neural system.

I think that is 4 months in mice which is probably much longer of a time frame in comparison to humans. How many mouse years are there to human years?

1 mouse year is equivalent to 7 dog years.
1 dog year is equivalent to 7 human years.
So 4 mouse months = 16.3 human years.

Of course I just completely made that all up LOL
But in all seriousness though, yes I read 4 months in mice is considered very chronic.
