Thanx 4 yor info., F.Frank; I'm just a an intersted follower of
med. sci. developments.I herd Dr.Martin Schwab on the BBC Radio4 prog.
Medicine or Science Now, earlier this year; his successes with rats
impressed me.
Is the problem of rejoining a severd spinal chord,that of the bundle
of nerve fibers getting connected to the wrong fiber on the other side
of the join? Assuming,they can be joined at all.
