Promising Therapeutic Target For Central Nervous System Injuries Identified

Thursday, October 15, 2009 - 19:28 in Biology & Nature

Researchers have identified a promising therapeutic target for central nervous system injuries. Following such an injury, scar tissue releases molecules that keep neurons from passing, so they cannot restore motor and sensory function. Researchers have identified where these inhibitory molecules bind to the surface of neurons, exposing a novel therapeutic target.
