A mouse neural stem cell (blue and green) sits in a lab dish, atop a special gel containing a mat of synthetic nanofibers (purple). The cell is growing and sending out spindly appendages, called axons (green), in an attempt to re-establish connections with other nearby nerve cells.
The pictured research is giving hope that one day humans may be able to reverse spinal cord damage.

"If I can do it, you can too. I'm turning my dreams into my reality one step at a time!" states Amanda Boxtel who was paralyzed 19 years ago in a skiing accident in Colorado. Amanda demonstrates eLEGS, which is a wearable robotic exoskeleton that enables paraplegics and individuals with lower-extremity-weakness to power up, stand up and walk. Amanda is at Craig Hospital, which is one of 10 leading rehabilitation hospitals selected by Berkeley Bionics to conduct preliminary investigational studies of the eLEGS Professional device. Craig Hospital www.craighospital.org is a non-profit, national rehabilitation hospital and research center that specializes exclusively in treatment and research of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Berkeley Bionics www.berkeleybionics.com is a leading bionic exoskeleton company that introduced eLEGS in October 2010 and will bring the eLEGS Professional device to the rehabilitation hospital market in January 2012.

Justin Thompson
As a 16 year-old high school junior, Justin is busy studying for the SAT exams. He’s excited about college and all the opportunities that come with it. On a typical day, he would be outside playing soccer – he’s known for his skills as a right defenseman. However, Justin has been in a wheelchair for the last year.
Justin was injured in 2011 in his home town of Brooklyn, New York. He was leaving a party with some friends when a group of armed men wearing hooded jackets approached them. One of the men fired at Justin and shot him in the back. The bullet grazed his spine, bruising the bone. Justin’s doctors are hopeful that he could have a full recovery. For now, he is paralyzed from the knees down.
Justin still hasn’t returned to school full-time. When he’s not studying for the SAT or worrying about driver’s education courses, he enjoys playing video games with his friends, seeing movies and watching TV.
