Scientists Claim to Invent Hydrogel That Heals Nerve Damage – Futurism

A team of doctors and engineers have developed a new hydrogel that they say might be able to repair nerve damage more quickly and reliably than any other methods.
The hydrogel is essentially a porous and water-saturated material that can stretch, bend, and most importantly propagate neural signals. In animal trials, the team of Nanjing University researchers found that the hydrogel restored lost bodily function and helped the animals heal faster, according to research published Wednesday in the…
