☆ Experimental spinal cord implant helps Parkinson’s patient walk in new study
  + stars: | 2023-11-06 | by ( Manav Tanneeru | Jacqueline Howard | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
In a new study, Gauthier was surgically implanted with an experimental spinal cord neuroprosthesis to correct walking disorders in people with Parkinson’s disease. Marc Gauthier, 63, who has Parkinson's disease, was treated with a spinal cord neuroprosthesis for his locomotor symptoms. Then, Gauthier was invited to participate in the new study to test the experimental spinal cord neuroprosthesis. Next, they implanted an array of electrodes against the lower region of Gauthier’s spinal cord to target those zones. “With this spinal cord stimulation, we still have an effect, but we have to fight against worse and more severe symptoms,” Bloch said.

☆ A paralyzed man can walk again using a groundbreaking mind-reading brain implant
  + stars: | 2023-05-24 | by ( Hilary Brueck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A paralyzed man has regained the ability to walk using spinal cord stimulation he controls with his mind. He emerged alive, but unable to use his legs due to a spinal cord injury. "He's able to pause, he's able to traverse more complex terrain, he's able to climb stairs." Two have spinal cord injuries, and two will be hoping to "move their hands and arms again," he said. Other BCI companies, including Elon Musk's Neuralink, have really only used BCI technology to control things, like keyboards, or computer mice.
☆ New immune therapy for advanced melanoma offers hope for hard-to-treat disease

An experimental treatment for advanced melanoma is poised to be the next major advance in cancer treatment, experts say. Those who got TIL therapy had a 50% reduction in disease progression and death, compared to those who were treated with ipilimumab, the study found. Bruce Hawley and his wife, Laurie, celebrated their third wedding anniversary in 2021 in Vancouver, several years after his TIL therapy. "The chemotherapy knocks down the immune cells to make space for the TIL cells going in," Hwu said. The hope is that TIL therapy will also be used for other solid cancers, not just melanoma, Rosenberg said.
