Scientists have long puzzled over nerve regeneration. Damaged nerves in the arms or legs often repair themselves after injury, but those in the brain or spine rarely do. Research in the past 2 ...

A new way of repairing severed nerves in humans may be closer to reality thanks to observing how invertebrates repair nerve damage. Currently nerve damage in humans can take months or years to ...

American scientists believe a new procedure to repair severed nerves could result in patients recovering in days or weeks, rather than months or years. The team used a cellular mechanism similar ...
