In Breakthrough, Nerve Connections Are Regenerated After Spinal Cord Injury

Researchers for the first time have induced robust regeneration of nerve connections that control voluntary movement after spinal cord injury, showing the potential for new therapeutic approaches to paralysis and other motor function impairments. In a study on rodents, the UC Irvine, UC San Diego and Harvard University team achieved this breakthrough by turning back … Continue reading In Breakthrough, Nerve Connections Are Regenerated After Spinal Cord Injury
