Scientists are ‘a step closer to reversing paralysis’ in humans – BBC News

Published

on



US scientists have successfully reversed paralysis in mice, bringing them a step closer to achieving similar results in humans.

A new therapy injected into the spinal cords encouraged molecules to “dance”, promoting regeneration in damaged nerves.

The team hopes to begin trials in human patients within two years.

    Bullshit, they don't want us to walk again because we generate billions of dollars for the pharmaceutical industry. I've seen a spinal cord injury sufferer walking again after receiving stem cells from his stomach fat make a full recovery.

    “A step closer”??? it’s already been done! I have a friend who severed his spine and got the stem cell treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. He is no longer paralyzed and is living a normal life with the full use of his lower half! He was treated over a decade ago!

    Why not a robotic suit that decreases pressures but creates movement and slow increased pressure for muscular growth , retrain the brain and body at the same time

  37. @whitakerjl123

    December 24, 2023 at 7:43 pm

    We would have a cure already if it wasn't for Christian Republicans always voting down stem cell treatment and exploratory medication. They always want to put their two cents in politics but when you say tax the church they get silent. Religion hinders alot of scientific progression, especially in America

Meta to pay up to $18bn to settle claims its platforms harm children | BBC News

Published

on



Social media giant Meta has agreed to a $18bn (£13.3bn) settlement with US states and territories to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harmed children.

A California judge approved the settlement, which Meta must pay to 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and three US territories, marking the company’s largest payment over child safety litigation to date.

Meta will also implement a host of changes aimed at better protecting kids online, which the states had demanded, including default daily time limits and night-time blocks.

Meta has denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement and said on Wednesday that the payment it agreed to “will be distributed in annual instalments over a 10-year period”.

PC Andrew Harper’s killers to stay in jail | BBC News Exclusive

Published

on



Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding. 

In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release. 

Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.
