DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-28870-z Synthetic hydrogels were shown to provide an effective scaffold for neuronal tissue growth in areas of brain damage, providing a possible approach for brain tissue reconstruction. While growing brains may sound like...

Reversal of glial scar tissue back to neuronal tissue through neuroregenerative gene therapy
GUANGDONG-HONGKONG-MACAU INSTITUTE OF CNS REGENERATION,JINAN UNIVERSITY IMAGE: CONVERTING REACTIVE ASTROCYTES INTO NEURONS AFTER GLIAL SCAR FORMATION Brain or spinal cord injury often results in glial scar tissue that is correlated to neural functional loss. Glial scar is a well-known obstacle for neural regeneration due to its dense glial cell composition and lack of functional neurons....
