Cells coax damaged nerves to reconnect
U. ROCHESTER (US) — Researchers have taken a step toward repairing nerves more effectively in patients who have been involved in car accidents or suffered severe injuries.In a paper published in the journal PLoS One, neurosurgeon Jason Huang and colleagues at the University of Rochester report that a surprising set of cells may hold potential for nerve transplants....
