Description:

100% of your donation funds spinal cord research. Wings for Life is a not-for-profit spinal cord research foundation. Our mission is to find a cure for spinal cord injury. We fund world-class scientific research and clinical trials around the globe aimed at healing the injured spinal cord.  Support us in achieving our goal. Progress in spinal cord research is largely driven by private funding.Wings for Life is dependent on donations from individuals and companies. 100% of all donations are used for research purposes because all administrative costs are kindly covered by the Red Bull Company. A new drug that also repairs damage to the spinal cord has been created by scientists. Although still at an early stage, it holds the potential to improve the conditions in neurological diseases. A treatment currently tested in Multiple Sclerosis could potentially be used in acute spinal cord injuries and promote functional recovery. A long-term follow-up on twelve thoracic spinal cord injured patients after stem cell transplantation is now completed. A new study shows an “out-of-the-box” way to promote regrowth of damaged nerve fibers. By using magnetic nanoparticles scientists aim to stretch the axon from the outside. This year’s project decision meeting was held virtually, and we are happy to say that it was a big success. Read more about our funded projects here. The U.S. FDA sets an administrative milestone for the Go-2 Targeted Epidural Spinal Stimulation system. A clinical trial to test this new implantable device should therefore start next year. Researchers found an astonishing effect of a drug used for patients with schizophrenia. This medication could also be very effective against acute spinal edema. Sebastian fell into a streambed at the age of 18. The accident left him paralysed from the neck down and forced him to start his life anew. Today, he shares his experiences with managers and their teams. These days patients with a spinal cord injury are advised to take care of their immune system. But how does our immune system work? Vieri Failli explains its important role in the context of a virus infection. The Wings for Life World Run was a big success. We started separated by distance, but united in spirit and raised an incredible 2.8 million Euros for spinal cord research! This year we run with the App. Separated by distance, but united in spirit. Follow Race Day live, right here. The anticipation is rising! On May 3 we are running with the new Wings for Life World Run App. Everyone individually (with social distancing) but together.
