A research team from the University of Cologne has shown how zebrafish can rebuild their nerve pathways and restore their locomotor function after a spinal cord injury. Specialized connective tissue ...

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

"One region in the thoracolumbar spinal cord was shown to relay noxious information into brainstem pain-related circuits, while the other spinal region in the lumbosacral spinal cord carried a broader ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators have discovered a healing mechanism that could one day be harnessed to help treat patients with spinal cord injuries, stroke, and neurological conditions such as multiple ...

Spinal cord injuries caused by external trauma, such as traffic accidents or falls, often lead to the permanent loss of motor and sensory functions. This is because the spinal cord-the central pathway ...

A two-part clinical trial led by University of Cincinnati researchers at the Lindner Center of HOPE is testing the use of noninvasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord as a treatment for major ...

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 ...

Timed release of therapeutic molecules from a soft nanofiber-hydrogel implant supports nerve regrowth and circuit repair after spinal injury, restoring movement and bladder control in preclinical ...
