Biocompatible Electronic Nanowires May Repair Damaged Nerve Connections

Researchers affiliated with Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) hope their biologically compatible electronic nanowires could one day be used to re-establish connections between severed nerve cells. Filmed by Lindsey Smith, IGERT fellow in civil engineering, and Janice Lin, IGERT fellow in Materials Science and Engineering, it features Stephen Diegelmann, IGERT fellow from the Department of Chemistry, and his faculty advisor, J.D. Tovar, assistant professor of Chemistry in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.

i can't feel my legs. a finger is really not bad at all.

[punkofdeath]

cut my finger deep and now its numb and what this is telling me is a damaged Nerve dose not heal??? so im stuck with no feeling in my finger??? sounds depressing and i know its not a broken spine but still makes me feel like i wish i could hit reset start over ; ( if i couldn't walk there would be no reason to live in my eyes. So im glad some one is working on this and if i had money to donate i would!!!!
