Lab-grown brain-spinal cord model shows βirreversibleβ nerve damage may be reversed
Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect
Cambridge researchers used lab-grown human brain and spinal cord tissues to uncover a hidden mechanism that blocks nerve repair. By reversing that biological brake, they restored the ability of damaged nerve fibers to regrow. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have created miniature brain and spinal cord circuits in the lab that mimic the neural [...]
