Can Spinal Cord Injury be Repaired?
A gene named NOGO has been found that produces a protein that inhibits the regeneration of cells in the Central Nervous System. Armed with that knowledge, a team of scientists has produced a specific protein inhibitor that allows regeneration, thus offering hope to hundreds of thousands of paralized people.
