Introduction: Japanese scientists have recently found that the deacetylated polysaccharide extracted from the crab tendon can promote the regeneration and recovery of the severed nerve They heated the tendon on the crab's leg in a weak alkaline solution, and then chemically treated it with an organic solution or a strong alkaline solution, resulting in a slender tube of deacetylated polysaccharide, a polymer The researchers put it on the two ends of the severed nerve of the mouse, sewed it up, and the nerve naturally began to regenerate and extend, and then it was reconnected one month later, and it was restored to its original state three months later The two scientists plan to use the technology in clinical practice three years later to treat people who have been cut off because of traffic accidents or surgery.
