Abstract: Although certain damaged nerve fibres can regenerate themselves, they cannot enter the spinal cord so damage in this area usually leads to paralysis. However, a new study has shown that, in rats at least, certain neurotrophic factors belonging to the neurotrophin family can influence regenerating sensory fibres in a way that allows them to enter the spinal cord, where they terminate and establish functional connections.
