British Scientists Make Breakthrough in Restoring Movement to Paralyzed Rats

The video discusses a breakthrough in treating spinal cord injuries, which are typically permanent and irreversible due to scar tissue preventing nerve cell regrowth. Researchers in London have discovered an enzyme, chondroitinase ABC, that can help overcome this barrier, as demonstrated in rat tests. This discovery holds promise for future treatments to restore movement in paralyzed humans.
