New paper! The article 'Development of a PTEN-siRNA activated scaffold to promote axonal regrowth following spinal cord injury' has now been published in Bioactive Materials!
The study involves functionalisation of a collagen scaffold with PTEN-siRNA, promoting neurite outgrowth.
Got a minute to spare? Why not give TERG's latest piece in #NatureNanotechnology a read!
