This is about stem cells and their clinical potential for spinal cord injury recovery. You don’t hear as much about these cells as we once did, but as you will see, active human trials are still being conducted.

Worth a listen, new podcast from @u2fp.bsky.social with Dr. Andy Taylor on the recently disbanded $40M DoD spinal cord injury research program.
This was a unique program which ensured people impacted by SCI were helping make funding decisions based on community priorities.

We are continuing to mobilize our community to fight back against the cuts to the Defense Department's Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) which led to the zeroing out of the $40 million for the Spinal Cord Injury Research Program (SCIRP).

Still time? We must urge lawmakers to reinstate the full CDMRP funding. This can happen through a legislative
"vehicle", such as an amendment or bill.
