  swissjourno added this video and said: Swiss researcher Martin Schwab belongs to the international elite of neuroscientists. His great achievement was to discover a growth blocking protein called 'Nogo' in the nerve fibres of the spinal cords and brains of paraplegics. The Zurich-based scientist produced an antibody that blocked Nogo, thus helping damaged nerve cells to grow again. This discovery could result in the production of the first drug to relieve spinal-cord injuries. (swissinfo/SNF/SF)
