New biomaterial could redefine recovery from brain and central nervous system injuries

by

A new electrically active transplantable material that can help to regrow cells in the brain and spinal cord could redefine the recovery prospects of patients who sustain life-altering injuries or suffer from neurodegenerative diseases. Bath researchers have created a material that offers the potential to create new treatments for people who have suffered brain and … Read more
