Polylaminin promotes regeneration after spinal cord injury (2010) (researchgate.net) 57 points by zac23or 1y ago ↗ HN
[–] Terr_ 1y ago ↗ Tangentially: There's interesting research out there indicating that cellular repair is guided and promoted by the local electrical fields from surrounding tissues.For example: "Treating Scars After Burns With Pulsed Electric Fields in the Rat Model" - https://academic.oup.com/jbcr/article-abstract/45/6/1553/772...I wonder if we (or at least, our descendants) will figure out limb regrowth before we figure out functional immortality.
