      Hi Viktor,

      Excellent question, with a difficult answer! As of yet, we aren’t sure what these nanowires can do – my job is to see if they’ll work in a basic sense. Every year though, more and more research comes out about these nanowires, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there were researchers studying how nanowires can help paralytic patients in one way or another!

      Thanks for asking 🙂
      Emily
