Brain glue may aid in functional neural repair after severe TBI
At a cost of $38 billion a year, an estimated 5.3 million people are living with a permanent disability related to traumatic brain injury in the United States today, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The physical, mental and financial toll of a TBI can be enormous, but new research from the University of Georgia provides promise.
In a new study, researchers at UGA s Regenerative Biosciences Center have demonstrated the long-term benefits of a hydrogel, which they call brain glue, for the treatment of traumatic brain injury. The new study provides evidence that not only does the gel protect against loss of brain tissue after a severe injury, but it also might aid in functional neural repair.
