Restoring damaged spinal cords. See how we make graphene nanoribbons by the longitudinal unzipping of carbon nanotubes and how we used those to repair the spinal cord in a rodent. The rodent, after its spinal cord had been completed cut in two, started walking again two weeks after application of the graphene nanoribbons. After three weeks the rodent scored a 19 out of 21 on a mobility scale, where 21 is optimal mobility. This is also being studied for healing peripheral nerves and optic nerves…
