Israel announced the development of new materials that accelerate the repair of damaged nerves

Xinhua News Agency, Jerusalem, July 7th (Reporter Wang Zhuolun Lu Yingxu) Israeli Institute of Technology recently announced the development of a material, which can accelerate the repair of damaged nerves. Related studies have been published in the magazine of "Nature · Materials" in the UK.

The regeneration of damage nerves is generally slow. Studies say that this ultra -thin material can be wrapped around the damaged nerve when the wound is open. After the wound is closed, the material can still stimulate the transformation of photovoltaic tissue that is damaged under the skin, and accelerates nerve repair with current stimulation. The researchers tested the material on the rats, and found that the repair rate of damaged nerves accelerated by 33%.

Studies say that this thin film is made of silicon -based material and can be absorbed without any toxicity to the human body. It does not require additional subsequent surgery to remove it from the body.

Menheim Rottenberg, a professor at the Israeli Institute of Technology, who led the study, said that after further research and development, this ultra -thin material can be used to repair the damaged nerves, but also is expected to stimulate the heart and activate the surroundings in the temporary heart fighting. The role of the nervous system. He predicts that the material will be widely used in human beings within three to five years.

Rottenberg said that the related equipment made of this film is used for temporary heart fighting, which can help patients recover postoperative recovery, avoid discomfort that may cause temporary electrodes to insert the heart before removing.
