 * __Nerve Regeneration/__** //Henry Head had been working for some time on the regeneration of nerves after accidental injury, using as his subjects patients in the public wards of London hospitals, before concluding that, if any further progress was to be made, more rigorously controlled tests would have to be done./// pg. 31 / Nerve cells cannot regenerate on their own. Even though it was experimented with even prior to World War I, there is still no cure. However, scientists are making some progress using processes such as implementing the use of stem cells, guidance channels, growth factors, and gene therapy. The nervous system is acts as a chain stemming from the spinal column so, if one or more in the system is damaged (depending on the location) it is possible for muscles to become unresponsive in parts of the body in situations such as paralysis, and for parts of the body to lose feeling.. Nerve regeneration is still being studied and looks to help restore damaged cells and in some but not all instances can cure partial paralysis. Experimentation and attempts have proven to be extremely painful./ [|More on Nerve Regeneration]/ GAH + MNT
