Northwestern Medicine investigators have developed a new imaging approach to more accurately assess blood flow in the spinal cord, a method that could be used to better inform treatment for ...

Scientists have achieved a significant research milestone in the field of spinal cord injuries -- mapping out the cellular and molecular dynamics of paralysis in unprecedented detail with their ...

Neuroscientists have used a nanosized sensor to record spinal cord neurons in free-moving mice, a feat that could lead to the development of better treatments for spinal cord disease and injury.

Anyone with fibromyalgia can tell you it hurts, but no one can yet explain what causes all those aches. A study published in Pain Reports adds a new piece to the puzzle, showing spinal disinhibition — ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

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 ...

Combining advanced molecular mapping technologies and AI, researchers have published an open-source ‘atlas’ in Nature, providing a comprehensive understanding of spinal cord injury biology and paving ...
