Neural tissue to restore hair…
|
Wake Forest University reported on the development of a new method of regenerating nerve tissue damaged by injury. "Raw" for the production of new nerve serve normal hair.
Now restore damaged nerves using microsurgical operations. This can be done in two ways: either borrow a piece of nerve other parts of the body, or to connect two torn nerve endings empty tubes, in the hope of the natural process of regeneration of tissue.
However, both ways are drawbacks. In some instances, removal of nerve transplant is not possible, in addition - is a further blow to the body. In turn, nerve regeneration does not occur in people over the age of 17 - years.
Wake Forest University, the report states Washington Profile, first tried to solve this problem is widely known protein glue. In the nearest salon were collected human hair, which was isolated and purified stick. Previously, it was shown that the stick can affect the activity of special cells (cells Shvanna), which play an important role in the process of nerve regeneration.
The experiment was conducted on laboratory mice that have seized 4 mm nerve - a serious stress for a small animal. Since then, the end of severed tied with the help Glue gel.
After 6 weeks, it was found that treatment keratinom to instigate a process of regeneration of nerves at 100% of experimental mice. The process was marked by only one half of rodents that were part of the control group, and is not receiving such treatment. Furthermore, "keratinovye mouse recovering faster.
