Spinal cord injuries are serious because if they aren't treated correctly, they can leave someone paralyzed. The spine injury is one of the worst types of innjury because there is a very big possibily that you will never be able to walk again, as said earlier.
Embroyonic stem cell will help brain injury?
stem cells are special cells that can differentiate into any kind of human cell. The brain is made up of nerve cells which cannot regenerate. This means that a person with a brain or spinal chord injury is not able to heal. Theoretically, a doctor could induce these stem cells to grow into nerve cells in order to heal a person with a brain or spinal chord injury. In order to do this however they would need to be able to do a lot of research with stem cells first
What happens when the spinal cord is damaged?
When your spinal cord is damaged you may not be able to walk
Are spinal nerves able to repair themselves after being damaged?
no
What three ways water help human?

What part of the body are nerve cells in?
they help us feel by sending and receiving messages to and from our brain.
What is a hypothermia treatment for spinal injuries and is it effective?
According to Dr Peter Bachelor, a neurologist and lead researcher in spinal cord injuries, due to the initial injury, the spinal cord swells up. However, the injured vertebra, which surrounds and protects the spinal cord, squashes the swollen spinal cord, which potentially leads to paralysis. Dr Batchelor's new treatment involves lowering the temperature by two degrees Celsius within two hours of the injury. The induced hypothermia decreases the swelling of the spinal cord, thus the squashing trauma by the vertebrate till the necessary surgery could be performed. Animal studies showed promise, some of the animals have been able to walk after the surgery. Human trial of 140 patient will proceed during the next five years.

What is the prognosis of spinal stenosis?
Most cases of sciatica are treatable with pain medication and physical therapy. After 4-6 weeks of treatment, an individual should be able to resume normal activities.
Why is paralysis permanent?
Paralysis can be permanent due to damage to the nerves or spinal cord, which disrupts the communication between the brain and muscles. Injuries or conditions that result in the loss of nerve function can lead to permanent paralysis because the nerves are unable to regenerate or repair themselves fully. In some cases, the extent of the damage may be severe enough to prevent any recovery of movement in the affected areas.
What is the significance of being able to harvest stem cells that can specialize into any type of cell?
Stem cells are able to treat cancer. the healthy stem cells transplanted into the patients bone marrow start producing healthy blood cells. if this can happen, maybe scientists will think of ways to use stem cells not only for cancer patients.
