hi metallica,
you might be interested to read a recent article in <b>nanotoday</b> (see page 15, May 2006, VOLUME 1, NUMBER 2). the article was called <b>"Nanofiber scaffold repairs brain tissue".</b>
Basically it says that researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Hong Kong, and the Fourth Military Medical University, Xian, China have developed a scaffolding technique that can assist brain tissue regrowth.
They are using a <i>"highly hydrated nanofiber scaffold, formed spontaneously from peptides, to create an environment conducive to axon regeneration."</i>
Sounds promising. Hope this helps you in your studies.
