Stroke sufferers can get their nerves regenerated, according to a stroke
treatment breakthrough made by the Huashan Hospital and the US-based Buck Center
for Research in Aging.
The achievement, made after two-years of effort, was
posted on an online version of the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences of the USA on August 21.
The number of stroke sufferers accounts
for nearly one percent of the global population. In China, there are 1.95
million new stroke suffers every year, which leaves nearly half disabled and
causes the death of 1.56 million.
