Has anyone heard about this or know anyone who has gone through this?

on ehow they have more details about it,

"Nanotechnology - A new treatment with nanotechnology not only gets rid of the brain scar tissue, but it also encourages brain nerve regrowth. The process begins by cutting the brain structure that relays the vision signals. After severing the connection, a clear fluid is injected into the damaged area that has chains of amino acids. Amino acids create peptide bonds, which create a bridge to the damaged area. This new peptide bond restores the severed connections, and also prevents more scar tissue from forming. According to the research performed by MIT, Hong Kong University, and Fourth Military Medical University in China, there was a success rate of 75 percent of the rats treated with nanotechnology."
 
It's only at the rat stage. It's not a procedure that has been performed in humans.
