New Brain Cell Discovery Could Revolutionize Spinal Cord Injury Treatment
TL;DR
Scientists at Cedars-Sinai discovered a new role for astrocytes, called lesion-remote astrocytes (LRAs), which communicate with immune cells to clear debris and promote repair in spinal cord injuries, potentially leading to new treatments for neurological diseases.
