Israeli Nose Drops Surprise: Rats Begin Walking Again
Published
The Israeli biotech company Nurexon is developing new nose drops, and they are attracting a great deal of attention in the scientific world. In the company's laboratory, trillions of exosomes are produced in special containers.
Exosomes are very small particles. Body cells secrete them in order to transfer substances and messages between cells. For this reason, scientists see them as an important tool for new treatments. The company wants to use its exosomes to help the body repair damage.
In experiments on rats, the researchers examined whether the treatment affects animals that were injured in the spinal cord. According to reports, some of the rats that could not walk began walking again after the treatment. The results surprised the researchers, because they showed a significant change.
However, this is an early stage of the research. Before the treatment becomes available to humans, additional tests must be carried out to ensure that it is safe and effective. Meanwhile, the company continues to work on development, and the scientific world will follow its progress.
