A research group at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro has advanced polylaminin, a laminin-based biomaterial, from ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between neurons is disrupted, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury ...

Zebrafish have genetic characteristics that make it possible to rebuild neural networks after severe injuries.

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

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered a surprising repair system in the spinal cord that could open new doors for treating paralysis, stroke, and diseases like multiple sclerosis. They found that ...

A new risk prediction model shows good predictive value in identifying risk for neurogenic bladder (NB) after spinal cord injury (SCI) and guiding clinical interventions, according to a study ...

Organoids have transformed biomedical research by giving scientists miniature versions of human organs to study in the lab.

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 ...

For those living with chronic pain, an advanced therapy called Spinal Cord Stimulation may offer life-changing results and a renewed quality of life. Ryan Sankovic, M.D., is a double board-certified ...

His recovery is uncertain. But Logan Reese's family is holding on to the small signs - and the hope that his body might still surprise them.

Organoids developed from human stem cells modeled spinal cord injuries, providing a powerful in vitro tool to evaluate ...

Spinal cord injury remains one of the most challenging neurological conditions to treat, largely because damage continues to ...
