Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between ...

A new human spinal cord organoid model replicates key injury responses, such as inflammation, cell loss, and scar formation.

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

The spinal cord links and allows communication between the brain and peripheral organs, coordinating the movement and the sensation of the body. The spinal cord formation begins around embryonic day 9 ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal ...

The Briefing is sponsored by Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) and will include SCI researchers Murray Blackmore, Ph.D., Marquette University, and Jennifer Dulin, Ph.D., Texas A&M. Retired Air Force ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward treating spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. In lab dishes, researchers at Northwestern University grew tiny organoids of the human spinal cord. Then, ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Spinal Cord Injury - Pipeline Review, H2 2018" drug pipelines has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Spinal Cord Injury (Central Nervous System), complete ...

New research could lead to regenerative therapies for people with injuries to their brachial plexus, a group of nerves that starts at the spinal cord and goes into the arm. New research into the way ...
