HKUST researchers develop long-term in vivo imaging technique to better understand and treat spinal cord injury
A research team led by scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed an innovative technology for in vivo imaging of the important biological processes involved in the injury and repair of spinal cords, paving the way for a better understanding of the pathology and potential treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI).
A tight bundle of neural cells (neurons and glia) and nerve pathways (axons), the spinal cord serves as a primary information highway between the brain and the peripheral nerves in the rest of our body. Damage to the spinal cord is a devastating and largely irreversible neurological trauma, and can result in lifelong disability and paralysis with no available cure.

What Is the Connection for President SHYY, Ingenuity and Leonardo Da Vinci?
The article is authored by CHEN Jay Chung, Professor emeritus of Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
Recently, I had an opportunity to visit JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and listened to a talk by the scientists and engineers. They designed the cute little robotic helicopter, Ingenuity, which was brought to the Mars surface by the Perseverance rover spacecraft. Ingenuity successfully completed the first powered controlled extraterrestrial flight by a rotary-wing aircraft. My visit was a delightful reminiscence during the ever-glooming pandemic.
