After single injection, paralyzed animals regained ability to walk within four weeks
"‘While the new therapy could be used to prevent paralysis after major trauma (automobile accidents, falls, sports accidents and gunshot wounds) as well as from diseases... the underlying discovery — that “supramolecular motion” is a key factor in bioactivity — can be applied to other therapies and targets... regenerated axons of the cord’s neurons, reduced scar tissue, promoted myelin growth, triggered blood vessel formation and helped motor neurons survive"
