Where this comes from

Abstract

Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising area of scientific investigation, sparking considerable interest, especially in spinal cord injury (SCI). Sun et al.<sup>1</sup> discover that the extracellular matrix (ECM) from the neonatal spinal cord transmits biochemical signals to endogenous axons, thus promoting axonal regeneration.
