	Micro-implants restore movement to paralysed limbs - tech - 19 March 2007 - New Scientist Tech
		People left paralysed by a stroke could soon get some movement back thanks to artificial neurons that stimulate muscle in a coordinated way.
		Now their developer, Gerald Loeb of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, is developing a system that will coordinate a network of BIONs to allow someone whose arms have been paralysed by a stroke, cerebral palsy or spinal-cord injury to lift a glass of water or turn the pages of a book.
		Battery-powered implants are already used to help paralysed people walk or grasp objects, but these require surgery when they are implanted and have to be replaced when the batteries run out.

	PlanetSave - 'Cocktail' helps paralysed rats
		Washington - Scientists have used stem cells and a soup of nerve-friendly chemicals to not just bridge a damaged spinal cord but actually regrow the circuitry needed to move a muscle, helping partially paralysed rats walk.
		The Hopkins experiment isn't the first to use stem cells to help paralysed rodents move.
		But previous work bridged damage inside the spinal cord that blocked nerve cells from delivering their "move" messages to muscles, sort of like fixing the circuit that brings electricity to a fan.
