 Animal silks offer exceptional mechanical and biological properties and versatile manufacturing possibilities to assist the re-engineering of tissue.The innovation was tested in rats whose right sciatic nerve had been cut and revealed that the damaged nerves adapted to the novel silk nerve guides and grew along the silk threads until the severed endings successfully reconnected.

They can only be used to bridge very small distances due to a lack of an appropriate structure along which the regenerating tissue can orient itself and grow.Natural materialsNatural materials are ideal for use as nerve guides as they degrade over time and produce hardly any immune response in animal models.Nerve guides made of natural or synthetic materials are often used as surgical tools for nerve repair.

This study provides further evidence of the incredible regenerative properties of silk within the nervous system and demonstrates its exciting utility and potential as a material to address the unmet clinical need for an off-the-shelf technology to treat nerve injuries.Our advanced silk-in-silk nerve guides combine the excellent ability of silkworm silk to be processed into three-dimensional structures with the outstanding cell adhesion qualities of spider dragline silk.

Newrotex is currently completing final pre-clinical studies of the new material with the aim of bringing a functional device suitable for humans to the market

the first woman senator elected from the South and the first woman from any state elected to a full Senate term who was not the wife or daughter of a politicianwill you use a personal question to establish character or conflict or a driving question for your narratives?RIDGWAYIm not interested in conflicts.

all of which speak either directly or obliquely to the stories in the surrounding chapters or to the novel at large.What inspired you to lean toward that more naturalistic speech?RIDGWAYA Shock is about my neighbors.

And to be honest they are so inseparable that I now largely forget how they each developed during the writing.INTERVIEWERDo you see yourself writing toward a certain genre or as writing for any particular audience?RIDGWAYNo.
