Nanobiomaterial boosts neuronal growth in mice with spinal cord injuries

(Department of Orthopedics, Tongji Hospital of Tongji University) A nanobiomaterial called layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been shown to inhibit the inflammatory environment surrounding spinal cord injuries in mice, accelerating regeneration of neurons. An understanding of the process could allow development of a comprehensive therapeutic system for spinal cord injuries in people.
