...only so far. To cure paralysis, they will have to find a way to repair or replace damaged spinal-cord nerves. Most of the research to date has been conducted on laboratory animals, but those experiments have set the stage for what scientists believe could be a burst of advances in human patients. "This is an exciting time in spinal-cord-injury research," says Dr. Wise Young, director of the Center for Collaborative Neuroscience at Rutgers University. "The progress in getting experimental therapies into clinical trials is astounding...
...That's where all the newfangled gadgetry comes in. A burst of buying in the past three years has given China a high-tech capability it never had before.

Make that eight. Heise and two partners, all veterans of the tech industry, see a new opportunity in bailing out the European venture capital firms that found their investment portfolios floundering when the Internet bubble burst. Venture capitalism needs their help. As dotcom companies wrote down their assets, went bankrupt or held fire sales, their VC backers found themselves with little to return to their own investors. As many as 80% of Europe's incubators and independent early-stage venture firms are expected to disappear by next year.
