Our team of medical professionals, scientists and business leaders wants to help patients regain lost function and avoid long-term paralysis. We use an injectable, shape-conforming gel formulation with magnetically aligning nanoparticles to create a fiber scaffold in the injury site in order to stimulate and guide axonal regrowth. Axons are like electrical cables that connect neurons in the brain and spinal cord. If an axon is damaged or cut due to a spinal cord injury, the electrical transmission is lost, resulting in loss of control (motion, bladder, bowel, sexual function) and sensation (feeling, pain, position).
