WASHINGTON, July 19 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital showed that a small-molecule compound could revive neural circuits in paralyzed mice, restoring their ability to walk, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Cell.



"For this fairly severe type of spinal cord injury, this is most significant functional recovery we know of," said He Zhigang in Boston Children's F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center. "We saw 80 percent of mice treated with this compound recover their stepping ability."
