A photo of adult human neurons in a dish over a black background shows white splotches with thin strands connecting them and with a scale bar of 50 μm. The team tested thiorphan in neuronal cell ...

A research team has recently made a significant advancement in spinal cord injury treatment by using genetically modified human neural stem cells (hNSCs). They found that specifically modulating a ...

In a study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers led by Profs. DAI Jianwu and ZHAO Yannan from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes structural damage to neural circuits, which in turn leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Transplantation of neural precursor cells/stem cells provides a potential ...

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 ...

This work shows that a drug called TTK21 that is administered systemically once/week after a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) in animals can promote neuronal regrowth and an increase in synapses that ...

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 ...

Central sensitization syndrome can cause the brain to overreact to harmless stimulation, leading to intense pain feelings. Typically, the CNS sends sensory signals to the brain. The brain accurately ...
