Team Regrows Neurons Controlling Movement in Rats.
Goal is to one day develop a therapy to help with spinal cord injuries
By Jennifer Thomas, HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, April 6 (HealthDay News) -- Using genetically engineered cells and a virus as a delivery method, researchers were able to regenerate a type of nerve fiber in rat brains that controls movement.
This isn't the first time researchers have shown it's possible to re-grow some neurons responsible for movement. But the new research showed regeneration of a particular type of neuron -- corticospinal motor axons -- that had so far proven resistant to regeneration efforts.
