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

Human spinal cord organoids have been used to model different types of spinal cord injuries and test a promising new regenerative therapy.

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 ...

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 ...

Complex 3D structures of cells called organoids could be used to test treatments for spinal-cord damage that can lead to ...

A paradigm shift in the way we treat spinal injuries is now in sight, with the world's first regenerative cell therapy being granted approval for a registrational Phase I clinical trial. It's a ...

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

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. In mouse experiments, scientists introduced ...

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

Routine blood samples, such as those taken daily at any hospital and tracked over time, could help predict the severity of an injury and even provide insights into mortality after spinal cord damage, ...

Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) has been linked to an elevated long-term risk of developing neurologic, psychiatric, cardiovascular, and endocrine comorbidities, highlighting the need for ...
