Rats with severe spinal cord injury were able to urinate normally after scientists used a new technique to regenerate nerve cells across the site of injury. The US team hopes their methods will help develop treatments that restore bladder function in humans with severe spinal cord injuries, and also guide efforts to restore other functions. Yu-Shang Lee, of the Cleveland Clinic, and Jerry Silver, of Case Western Reserve Medical School, both in Cleveland, Ohio, and others, write about their work in a a new study due to be published in Wednesday's online issue of The Journal of Neuroscience.
