Is anything in this usable for stroke repair? A simple question. WHOM is going to followup? WHOM do we ask to followup? 10 million yearly stroke survivors want to know. Don't all the stroke doctors and stroke hospitals want to know this answer?
Or is everyone in stroke so fucking lazy that they are waiting for SOMEONE ELSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?
Like your 10 million yearly stroke survivors? Have your patients solve their own problems?
But I guess there are no problems in stroke to solve.10 million yearly stroke survivors beg to differ.

Guided growth for spinal injury repair

Aligned hydrogel tubes can help repair certain types of spinal cord injuries.

To repair a spinal cord injury, there is a need
to regrow severed nerves while preventing the formation of scar tissue.
An ideal biomaterial would conform to and temporarily fill the injury
site while supporting the infusion of cells and directing axon regrowth.
Dumont et al. use a two-step cross-linking process to create
modular porous tubes. Hydrogel beads are initially formed into a tubular
structure where the lumen of the tubes provides guidance for regrowing
axons while the microspheres control the porosity of the structure to
facilitate regenerative support cells. The tubes can be cut to length so
that they can be packed to fill any injury shape.
