Cool techbut they're exaggerating things a bit in the linked story.<p>From the news story:<p>This therapy took the form of a gel that was injected directly into the tissue wrapped around the spinal cords of several lab mice, 24 hours after researchers made a precise incision in the animals' spines<p>From the Science Article:<p>We injected saline solutions of 90:10 molar ratio of IKVAV PA2 coassembled with either FGF2 PA1 or with FGF2 PA2 into the spinal cord of mice 24 hours after a severe contusion in an established murine model of SCI (see supporting information for specific details of the animal model pro-
tocol) (20).<p>So the news story calls it an incision (severed spinal cord) but it was actually a severe contusion (bruise). The article about how the injury is generated is here <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27517060/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27517060/</a> but is rather unpleasant to read, not recommended.
