摘要
The ability to repair damaged human nerve tissue would be highly beneficial. A promising ‘biomaterial’ for this purpose consists of a peptide scaffold that acts as a substrate for the attachment and growth of neurons. But the system will require much more development before it can be considered clinically viable.
