Protein in zebrafish hope to spinal cord repairs

    The outstanding abilities of the zebrafish to regenerate and also repair its spinal cord is still a remarkable feature from nature to this animal . Scientists from the Duke University , North Carolina are looking for the particular protein in zebrafish that helps repair spinal cord .
    In the process of building , supporting cells called glia extend projections into a distance tens of times their own length and connect to a wide range of injury .
    Fully nerve cells then grow across and after about eight weeks new nerve tissues will fill the gap , meaning the animals fully reverse their paralysis .
