Scientists at Forsyth may have moved one step closer to regenerating human spinal cord tissue by artificially inducing a frog tadpole to re-grow its tail at a stage in its development when it is normally impossible. Using methods including a kind of gene therapy, the scientists altered the electrical properties of cells thus inducing regeneration.
