Cut a hydra in half, and it will regenerate its body and nervous system in a couple of days. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have now traced the fate of the hydra’s cells, revealing how three lines of stem cells become nerves, muscles or other tissues.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> July 25, 2019 - 2:37pm Andy Fell /curiosity/news/mapping-cells-immortal-regenerating-hydra Working Around Spinal Injuries /news/working-around-spinal-injuries <p>A new study in rats shows that changes in the brain after spinal cord injury are necessary to restore at least some function to lower limbs.
