Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

Your spinal cord can make its own memories independent of your brain, neuroscientists have found. The discovery opens up new avenues for treating patients in recovery from spinal cord injuries and ...

Netrin1 is a protein that was first characterized for its axon guidance activities during embryonic development. The netrin family has been shown to play many critical roles in developmental and ...

In a study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers led by Profs. DAI Jianwu and ZHAO Yannan from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have ...

Using neural stem cells could help treat spinal injuries once thought to be untreatable -- a new phase 1 trial has determined this approach is safe. A Phase I clinical trial led by researchers at ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.
