A dog called Jasper during trial to show spinal cord regeneration
Duration: 00:00:46
Published Date: 2012/11/19In a unique collaboration between the University's Veterinary School and MRC's Regenerative Medicine Centre, scientists used a unique type of cell to regenerate the damaged part of the dogs' spines. The researchers are cautiously optimistic that the work could have a future role in the treatment of human patients with similar injuries if used alongside other treatments. For more information, go
