Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs hand and arm functions and carries with it devastating consequences in quality of life for affected individuals. Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, in combination with rehabilitative training, improves hand and arm functions following cervical SCI, but is insufficient to fully restore functions. An eventual cure for SCI will therefore require biological repair strategies to promote axon growth through or around lesions. We recently leveraged our developmentally inspired regenerative gene therapy to restore walking after paralysis due to anatomi
