In Animal Model, Bladder Function Restored After Spinal Cord Injury

As published in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and Cleveland Clinic have used nerve regeneration to restore significant bladder function in rats suffering from severe spinal cord injuries (SCI). The animals did not regain the ability to walk, but were able to recover a high level of bladder control. The findings show promise in restoring body functions in humans with SCI.
