The regeneration capacity of axons within the central nervous system, of which the spinal cord is part, has until now been much debated. The observation made by Genevieve Rougon's team at IBDML shows that the axons can regrow in the direction of the spinal cord within a short lapse of time after the injury. Moreover, this regrowth is encouraged by the process of formation of new blood vessels in the damaged tissue. (source: sciencedaily.com)
