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 ...

A revolutionary jab that could repair spinal cord injuries has been developed by scientists. Paralyzed mice regrew nerves within 3 months following weekly injections, according to a new study. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

While the majority of tissues in the human body can regenerate after injury, some of the most important ones can’t. That includes axons, the long nerve fibers that pass signals between neurons. But ...

As they do in many areas of medicine, stem cells hold great potential in treating injured spinal cords, but getting them where they need to go is a delicate undertaking. Scientists at the University ...

Writing in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine, an international research team, led by physician-scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, describe a new method ...

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

A brighter future could be in store for people with a spinal cord injury if new animal research pans out in humans. Mice that were paralyzed due to severe spinal cord damage regained the ability to ...

(Reuters Health) - Spinal epidural injections of steroids may relieve low back pain from a ruptured disc, but only briefly, a new study shows. And the injections offer no significant relief for pain ...
