Cancer researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have found that a protein known for driving the growth of cancer also plays a surprising role in restoring the ability of neurons to regenerate, making it an important target for addressing spinal cord damage or neurological diseases like Alzheimer's.
Commentary: Maybe this finding will yield successful human treatments for stroke, spinal cord injury and other neurological diseases and disorders.
