A group of Swiss scientists from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
(EPFL) have found a way to rewire the spinal cord of rats after a paralyzing
injury. 

A rat (pictured in the article) was just paralyzed a few weeks prior and is
now running on a treadmill. The team accomplished this impressive medical
feat with an extensive treatment of electro-chemical therapy and training
with the help of a robotic harness.
