After 25 years of cutting-edge research, scientists at the University of São Paulo have developed a first-of-its-kind drug that can regenerate damaged spinal cords — a historic breakthrough that could help millions walk again.
💉 The drug, called FS271, works by repairing nerve pathways and restoring communication between neurons — something once thought impossible in spinal cord injuries.
🐁 In lab tests on mice and primates, paralyzed animals regained movement — proof that the nervous system can heal with the right molecular trigger.
🧠 Human trials are expected soon — and if successful, FS271 could usher in a new era of regenerative medicine for conditions like paralysis, MS, and traumatic nerve damage.
🔬 Behind this miracle? A Brazilian team led by geneticist Dr. Mayana Zatz, and the tireless work of the Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center in São Paulo.
✨ A cure for paralysis may finally be on the horizon — and it’s coming from Brazil.
