Lab-Grown Spinal Cord Scientists are set to implant the world's first "lab-grown" spinal cord segment. The procedure involves taking a standard blood sample from a patient and converting its cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). These cells can become any type of tissue. They are then used to create a personalized neural implant - essentially a "biological spare part" - to replace a damaged spinal cord segment. The implant is made from the patient's own cells, minimizing the risk of immune rejection and ensuring better integration with tissues than any donor or synthetic materials. Creating one such implant takes several months, so blood collection from potential patients is already underway to progress regulatory stages in parallel. The first operation may take place in the first half of 2027, according to an official estimate by Matricelf, the technology developer, as reported in Nature Aging, July 2026. 🔗 Read original →
