Together, specialists from Germany and the United Kingdom created a miniature-sized frame resembling a honeycomb that can be used to repair damaged nerve tissue, according to the online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net The new device is currently being tested on laboratory rodents. Scientists claim that a mini-frame in the form of honeycombs directs bundles of nerves through their openings, which eventually restore the damaged nerve with various spinal injuries. It turned out that the tissues of nerves that are located outside the brain and spinal cord are capable of regeneration.. New device helps regenerate damaged nerve tissue.

A little earlier, specialists tested special tubes that were designed to solve the same problem - for these purposes, two parts of the damaged nerve were inserted into the tube. But the honeycomb structure, which is made from photopolymer polylactic acid, more closely resembles the natural construction of nerve tissue. At the same time, the miniature skeleton itself decomposes during nerve growth without any harmful consequences for the body.

The full results of the study were published in the scientific journal Biofabrication..
