In some tests fat tissue was taken from adult animals and differentiates them into nerve cells, this was then used for repair and regeneration. The team who did these tests was UK Centre for Tissue Regeneration which was headed by Dr. Paul Kingham; they will now take the tests one step further by using human volunteers. The artificial nerve will be made from a biodegradable polymer, the nerve looks like a small tube and will be inserted between two cut nerves, this will then allow for nerve fibers to spread from one end to the other.
