Scientists regenerate neurons that restore walking in mice after paralysis from spinal cord injury::In a new study in mice, a team of researchers from UCLA, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and Harvard University have uncovered a crucial component for restoring functional activity after spinal cord injury. The neuroscientists have shown that re-growing specific neurons back to their natural target regions led to recovery, while random regrowth was not effective.

It kinda was, remember our tech advancemt between the early 2000s and now has been more or less exponential.

Also it helps that we are finally able to use computers for a lot more biological research. Imagine trying to research something on vista, xp, or god forbid millenium edition.
