CourteousMaximus discovered 4 months ago- From the page: "Self-assembling Nanofibers Heal Spinal Cords Injected directly into the spinal cords of paralyzed mice, a new material restores use of the animals' hind legs."
- Limbricus rated 7 weeks ago
- From the site: "An engineered material that can be injected into damaged spinal cords could help prevent scars and encourage damaged nerve fibers to grow. The liquid material, developed by Northwestern University materials science professor Samuel Stupp, contains molecules that self-assemble into nanofibers, which act as a scaffold on which nerve fibers grow."

- "The new material is different because the researchers can inject it as a liquid directly into the spinal cord. Negatively charged molecules in the liquid start clumping together when they come in contact with positively charged particles such as calcium and sodium ions in the body. The molecules self-assemble into hollow, cylindrical nanofibers, which form a scaffold that can trap cells." (injected with only minimal intentional pain by the skillful hands of Dr. K)

- Encouraging research for those with spinal injuries. Injected directly into the spinal cord, "the nanofibers are biological molecules that inhibit scars and encourage nerve fibers to grow. Negatively charged molecules in the liquid start clumping together when they come in contact with positively charged particles such as calcium and sodium ions in the body. The molecules self-assemble into hollow, cylindrical nanofibers, which form a scaffold that can trap cells."
