I could use some of this!!!! I think I damaged a good portion of my brain back in the 60's!
An injectable biomaterial gel may help brain tissue grow at the site of a traumatic brain injury, according to findings by a Clemson University bioengineer.
Research by assistant professor of bioengineering Ning Zhang shows that the biomaterial gel made up of both synthetic and natural sources has the potential to spur the growth of a patient's own neural stem cells in the body, structurally repairing the brain injury site. In previous lab studies, Zhang has demonstrated the reconstruction of a complete vascular network at the injury site as an initial step toward brain tissue regeneration.

Not me. I'm good. :wink:
I wonder if it would help with my bad memory? What were we talking about again?
You just need to get your blood pressure checked.

Are you sure?
I'm positive. No brain injury, and my memory is better than the average bear.
Yeah, and those quoting skills are sharp, too! :biggrin:
Don't make me come chop you in the throat.
I'm just sayin'... :biggrin:
Yeah, yeah, you just keep on sayin'. I actually have gas in the van and am looking for a reason to drive to Indy.
