Hope for Minimal Disruption Axonal Repair

Credit: pennstatenews/Foter

• Degraded axon's limited regenerative abilities disrupt body's signal transmission and communication structure
• Micro-TENNS also known as 'micro-tissue engineered neural networks' mimic the structure of brain pathways
• Laboratory micro-TENNS are brain implants wired-in to lost/broken axonal tracks, restoring their capabilities
• Helping neurodegenerative diseases (etc Parkinsons, Alzheimers) and those who've had tbi or strokes
• Research is published in the Journal of Neural Engineering
