Seeking Spinal Cord Recovery
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Hospital finds a method to repair column metrics damaged by animals. This method causes the growth of nerve fibers in the spinal cord along the affected area, and the implant of external fibers or tissues is not necessary to join broken fibers. This method cannot be used in humans, but future research will do so in another sense, according to Dr. Clifford Woolf of Massachusetts.
We have long known that damaged nerve fibers inside the spinal cord cannot reproduce, but that external or peripheral fibers regenerate. Woolf's team has found that this phenomenon is because neurons receive growth signals when peripheral nerve fibers are damaged. Therefore, the condition to peripheral nerve fibers can favor the regeneration of the entire spinal cord, favoring both the growth of peripheral and internal fibers.
