Notas del episodio
In this episode of Spinal Cast, we’re joined by Dr. Murray Blackmore – renowned for making complex biology accessible. He breaks down the incredible science behind spinal cord repair, from neurons and axons to the genes that guide regeneration. His groundbreaking research explores how mimicking gene activity could help severed axons reconnect, offering real hope for recovery after spinal cord injury.
We also discuss a critical issue: potential cuts to NIH and federal research funding. Dr. Blackmore shares what’s at stake if these cuts go through – and why the future of innovation depends on continued support.
This is a must listen!
