In the University of Central Florida, researchers have found a way to create neuromuscular connectors between muscle and spinal cord cells with stem cells. The researcher that lead this break through was bioengineer James Hickman, and with the help of his team and Professor Emertius Herman Vandenburgh from Brown University this feat was accomplished. This breakthrough is said to help the development of human chips that will help patients suffering from diseases. It is also speculated that it will help research on Lou Gehrig’s disease and spinal cord injuries. Many other forms of medical research and development can come from this new discovery.
