Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between neurons is disrupted, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury ...

A research group at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro has advanced polylaminin, a laminin-based biomaterial, from ...

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 ...

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 ...

Complex 3D structures of cells called organoids could be used to test treatments for spinal-cord damage that can lead to ...

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, ...

A new risk prediction model shows good predictive value in identifying risk for neurogenic bladder (NB) after spinal cord injury (SCI) and guiding clinical interventions, according to a study ...

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 ...

Three patients are suing Nura Pain Clinic saying they were severely injured after doctors placed spinal cord stimulators.

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 ...
