World's First Spinal Cord Regeneration Drug Developed By Brazilian Scientists [View all]
After a quarter-century of dedicated research, Brazilian scientists have achieved a potential medical breakthrough with the development of polylaminin, claimed to be the worlds first drug capable of regenerating spinal cord injuries.
The groundbreaking treatment was developed by Dr Tatiana Coelho de Sampaio and her research team at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Polylaminin is derived from placental laminin protein and is administered through direct spinal injection.
Initial experimental trials have yielded promising results among patients with paraplegia and quadriplegia caused by spinal cord ruptures. According to reports, several trial participants experienced complete recovery, regaining full mobility without experiencing lasting adverse effects. The drug works by regrowing damaged nerve fibers while simultaneously reducing inflammation, both crucial factors in restoring motor function.
These encouraging human trial results align with earlier animal studies, where polylaminin demonstrated significant improvements in post-injury locomotion through neuron regeneration and anti-inflammatory properties.
