New nerve insights may help heal certain types of blindness, paralysis
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Adult nerve cells cannot rebuild their connections, therefore nerve injuries might induce blindness or paralysis. A team of UConn School of Medicine researchers recently reported in Development that everyone has at least a tiny number of nerve cells that may be induced to grow, possibly rest
