Spinal cord injuries cause permanent paralysis in part because inflammation, cell death, and glial scarring block nerve regeneration, and there has been no reliable human tissue model to test ...

Organoids modeled on the structure of the human spinal cord have been shown to match the behavior of an injured spine. Now, a treatment that has worked well in mice has been applied to the organoids, ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human spinal cord organoid model yet, using it to test a regenerative therapy that previously reversed paralysis in ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a new study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the research team ...

A chance mutation that led to spinal defects in a zebrafish has opened a little window into our own fishy past. Rising fifth-year Duke graduate student Brianna Peskin, who started the project during ...

Northwestern University (IL, USA) scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a new study, the research team used lab-grown human spinal cord ...
