Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells, helping them to regrow ...

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 ...

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

Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human 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 ...

Northwestern University 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 ...

Spinal cord injury remains one of the most challenging neurological conditions to treat, largely because damage continues to worsen long after the initial trauma. Secondary injury processes—driven by ...

The prognosis for recovery from a spinal cord injury (SCI) is of great importance for those directly affected and those around them. So far, however, it has remained imprecise. Researchers from three ...

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

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . A global study examined 227 individuals with spinal cord injury seen at three centers in Europe, North America.

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

A bruised spine, or spinal contusion, can be a serious injury that may cause disability. It can occur due to trauma damaging the tissue of the spine, resulting in bleeding, inflammation, and pain. The ...
