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

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

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 ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward treating spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. In lab dishes, researchers at Northwestern University grew tiny organoids of the human spinal cord. Then, ...

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 ...

There is a new hope for people with spinal cord injuries. Doctors are using an experimental, easy to deliver drug, with ...

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) can temporarily or permanently disrupt critical functions, from sensation to breathing, contributing to substantial patient morbidities that are often lifelong. Researchers ...

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 ...

Your spine represents a marvel of biological engineering – 33 stacked vertebrae protecting the delicate spinal cord while providing remarkable flexibility and support for your entire body. This ...

Your spine serves as the central support structure for your entire body, yet many of us unwittingly damage it through routine activities. The concerning reality is that spinal issues often develop ...
