New technique could help repair nerve damage

A new recipe for patterning cells on a surface holds promise for the repair of damaged nerve tissue. Princeton researchers — led by Jeffrey Schwartz(link is external), professor of chemistry(link is external), and Jean Schwarzbaue(link is external)r, the Eugene Higgins Profesor of Molecular Biology(link is external) — have developed a technique for adhering and aligning cells on a soft and flexible material, known as hydrogel, with the goal of creating a scaffold on which to grow neurons and provide guidance for the cells to extend the long thin projections, or axons, that serve as the transmission lines of the nervous system.
