UTSA Research Uses Chicken Nerve Cells To Probe Birth Defects
Dr. Marilyn Luduena of the University of Texas at San Antonio studies nine day old chicken embryos to understand how normal nerve cell growth is controlled. Funded by NIH, the three year project aims to reveal factors that guide nerve connections and could lead to treatments for birth defects and paralysis from nerve damage.

UTSA researcher tracks nerve cells in chicken embryo study
Dr. Luduena and team at UTSA are isolating proteins from chicken embryo nerve cells to identify growth stage patterns. They aim to see if proteins directing nerve cell growth in embryos also apply to other nerve cells and could aid regeneration.
