I assumed it took a generation or so for gene therapy to work,
How does it work in living patients?

Layman's Terms: A virus carries a payload of modified genetic instructions to the spinal cord of the mouse, and a specialized drug activates the instructions. These modified instructions are inserted into the spinal cord cells, by the virus, and modify the way the cell behaves. The instructions tell the spinal cord cells to break down scar tissue, which was formed in response to the injury / damage / etc which originally produces paralysis in the mouse. After the instructions are inserted into the genome of the spinal cord cells, the drug is given to activate the instructions. The scar tissue is broken down by the modified spinal cord cells, allowing for regrowth of spinal cord cells in place of the scar tissue, in turn allowing for full regained control of the motor functions associated with these spinal cord cells (reversing partial, specific paralysis.)
this could fix so many issues with limbs, paralysis full or partial, holy shit.
Human Trials now.
Neat, scar tissue is currently impossible to remove and I have a ton from a surgery on my stomach, god bless.
And they didn't even need Big Boss's body to do it.
man imagine if people were rats
countless IQ-boosting drugs, cancer cures, age-reversing pills, limb-growing ointments to choose from
There's not that much of a difference but do note countless rats would have got cancer or other genetic problems during this study.
