Muscle paralysis can be caused by a number of factors, but injured motor neurons that no longer conduct signals from the brain to control muscle movement are often the underlying condition. While electrical stimulation holds promise for overcoming certain types of paralysis, damaged motor neurons prevent even that approach. Researchers from University College London and King’s College London have just reported in journal Science on a new light-based technique that restores muscle movement in mice with injured motor neurons.
