Executive Summary
Administration of the nerve growth factor, inosine, to the motor cortex of rats with severed spinal cord motor nerve fibres led to nerve regrowth through the injury, researchers at Boston Life Sciences have reported. The Massachusetts-based company is developing growth factors for the treatment of spinal cord injuries and stroke, and now hopes to repeat the studies in nonhuman primates as a prelude to clinical trials.
