Schwann cells form sheaths around axons on nerves and promote regeneration of axons. They also produce substances that help promote the health of nerve cells. Both actions are helpful for researchers who are looking to regenerate nerve cells like peripheral nerve cells.
Using inkjet printers to print multi-layer graphene circuits, the researchers created a nanotechnology that mesenchymal stem cells could attach and grow on.
