Scientists from University of South Carolina have developed the innovative hydrogel stimulating growth and restoration of a spinal cord and a backbone. The novelty is capable to accelerate many times over rates of a natural angenesis in a wound place. Physicians while have checked up the gel, which action only in laboratory conditions, consists of a synthetic basis with addition of the natural sources stimulating stem cells reproduction of a spinal cord.

Developers of gel say, that after a series of clinical tests, it will start to apply in public, transferred a serious trauma in which result the backbone has been seriously damaged. Finances workings out of the Ministry of Defence of the USA.

Besides a spinal cord, hydrogel also has proved the efficiency at brain injuries treatment and restoration of bones of a craniocerebral box. According to the physicians, the framed gel is some kind of the budgetary decision of more effective method when to the patient tissues of donors change or the injection from stem cells for reproduction of the damaged site becomes. Last variants of treatment are very expensive and at the disposal of physicians not always there are donor organs and tissues.

At University notice, that after use hydrogel in a spinal cord zone, at laboratory mice it was possible to prevent scale lesions of the central nervous system and to stimulate growth of corresponding tissues of an organism.

"Other important advantage gel is its liquid form thanks to which it can be entered by means of the usual injection similar to those that is spent at procedure of a capture of a puncture. Besides, gel can be admixed with other medical preparations ordered by attending physicians", - scientists speak.
According to developers, in a case with hydrogel use, process of healing of a fracture of spinal column lasted no more than 8 weeks if to an injection were added undifferentiated stem cells healing passed even faster.
