Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System have reported that neurons from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) that were grafted into rats after a spinal cord injury have produced cells with tens of thousands of axons (nerve fibres) extending virtually the entire length of the animals’ central nervous system.<\/p>\n

The iPSCs used were developed from a healthy 86-year-old human male.<\/p>\n
