It is being said that nanotechnology could prove effective in treatment of spinal cord injuries and also reverse paralysis. This would be possible as nanotechnology could help in repair of damaged organs and tissues. There is a very good chance that nanotechnology could prove vital in the treatment of diseases such as Parkinson’s disease or heart attacks or even diabetes.
With the aid of injection of molecules which have been designed for self assembling into nanostructures in the spinal tissue it has become possible to rescue and re grow rapidly damaged neurons. The research has already been published in science magazines and the latest findings on reversing paralysis have been also been reviewed for publication. The clinical trials for spinal cord treatment are expected to begin within a few years. There is unlikely to be any side effects since the materials used are those which one consumes during breakfast. An approval from FDA would be required before nanotechnology is applied for medical applications.
