Medical development a work of art that may someday help repair nerve damage

Montreal scientists have developed a laser technique delicate enough to "paint" a picture just one-fifth of a millimetre wide. Some day, your nerves may thank them. Santiago Costantino and his colleagues created an image of the Vermeer painting Girl With a Pearl Earring, pictured, using a laser, but their final goal is medical. Wide as two human hairs, the miniature artwork illustrates the precision they can bring to another task: laying out a path that shows a damaged nerve how to reconnect. "When a nerve is cut, usually humans don't regrow, especially certain nerves like the optic nerve," Mr. Costantino said, noting one reason for this is that people have no way to tell the neurons that constitute these nerves how to find their targets again.

Mammals can be stimulated to regrow damaged inner retina nerve cells

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have reported for the first time that mammals can be stimulated to regrow inner nerve cells in their damaged retinas. Located in the back of the eye, the retina's role in vision is to convert light into nerve impulses to the brain.

A European patent has been granted for the use of nerve growth factors for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence. Diamyd Medical has an exclusive license for the patent, and patent applications have been filed in North America and Asia.

Mammals Can be Stimulated to Regrow Damaged Inner Retina Nerve Cells

The mouse retina has now been show to regenerate new neurons after damage. This is the first time evidence of regrowth of inner retinal nerve cells has been reported in mammals. The results suggest at least some types of retinal damage can be repaired. The findings hold promise for treating macular degeneration and other retinal disorders that lead to blindness.
