Optic Nerve Regrown in Mice
The mammalian central nervous system has a remarkable ability to store memories
and maintain complex connections, but the tradeoff is that it can’t regenerate
after injury. Now, for the first time, a team of researchers,
led by Dong Feng Chen, reports that it has engineered experimental animals to
fully regrow damaged optic nerves.
