Read all about how TERG researchers like @iWoodsie are developing 3D-printed implants to help repair spinal cord injuries below!
RCSI researchers have shown how electroconductive nanomaterials embedded in a tissue engineering scaffold can be used to boost axonal growth in neurons.
The findings could advance treatments for neurological conditions.
