Topical would be fine, if it worked. I wasn't thinking of running out and trying anything rash (I don't do rash. ) I was just reading about it, and the neurogenic mentions were intriguing.

When I mean topical I mean applied to the cut ends of the nerves. Not on the skin.

The newest study made a film scaffold with chitan (which comes from crab shells and is a fiber). The nerves (axons) were severed and the bond applied to facilitate regrowth.

For us PNers...damaged axons....one would have to have location in which to inject the product once it is approved safe.

Not going to be seen for us for a LONG TIME. May however help people with spinal cord trauma from accidents etc..
