Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

Few animals can regenerate their spinal cord after an injury. The axolotl can mobilize stem cells in its spinal cord to regrow the lost tissue. An international team of scientists have investigated ...

A research team at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has developed a 3-D printed implant to deliver electrical stimulation to injured areas of the spinal cord, offering a potential new ...

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 ...

Northwestern University investigators have developed a new injectable therapy that harnesses "dancing molecules" to reverse paralysis and repair tissue after severe spinal cord injuries. In the new ...

One popular idea for regenerating injured spinal cords is to implant artificial scaffolds bearing healing proteins near the injury site, but the idea has not panned out so far. Now, researchers at ...

Scientists in California have shown that it is possible to used human neural stem cells to repair spinal cord injury in mice. Debate has surrounded whether stem cells actually helped in spinal cord ...

Recent research for ways to repair brain and spinal cord injuries has focused on the use of olfactory ensheathing glia to induce neuronal regeneration. However, differences between rat models and men, ...
