Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...

One participant pointed to her chest. That, she explained, is where she felt her foot hit the treadmill. Not the foot itself, not the ground beneath it, but a sensation somewhere above the injury that ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a discovery that could help refine future stem-cell therapies for paralysis. The ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) improves walking and promotes recovery in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), new research showed. This intervention excites ...

A new study maps out a detailed atlas of all the cells involved in regenerating the zebrafish spinal cord. In an unexpected finding, the researchers showed that survival and adaptability of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Northwestern University (IL, USA) 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 ...
