From an alumni publication from my Alma Mater: ---------------------------------------------------------------- UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS DISCOVER PATHWAY THAT REGULATES GROWTH OF NERVE CELLS ALONG SPINAL CORD A University research team has discovered a crucial signaling pathway that controls the growth of nascent nerves within the spinal cord, guiding them toward the brain during development. The study results may lead to treatments that could restore function to people with paralyzing spinal cord injuries. http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/040108/spinalcord.shtml ========================================== Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A.
