So, it seems like blue dye that are found in blue Gatorade can help with spin injures. The dye seems to block the cells that kill the nerve cells thus causing more relief. But the real important think to think about though it the blue mouse! It’s so cute and adorable! It’s eyes just scream sexy to me.
[The dye] appears to block a molecule that floods the injury site and kills nerve cells, a team reports in the July 28 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Rats dosed with the dye after injury showed greater improvement in motor skills than rats not receiving the dye. And the food colorant’s low toxicity suggests a new approach for treating spinal cord trauma in humans, injuries for which there are few therapies.“It’s not a cure,” says neuroscientist Maiken Nedergaard of the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y., who led the new study. “I don’t think that anything can cure this, but for the patient it could be a big improvement.”
