For the first time, scientists have grown a miniature human spinal cord in a laboratory, injured it, and watched it heal. Northwestern University researchers published findings in Nature Biomedical Engineering showing their organoid replicates cell death, inflammation, and scarring in spinal cord injuries and shows tissue repair when treated with an experimental therapy.
