In a new clinical study, researchers from the Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) at The University of Texas at Dallas demonstrated unprecedented rates of recovery for spinal cord injuries.

A grid of electrodes placed on the backs of study participants delivered enough low-voltage electrical stimulation through ...

Researchers demonstrated unprecedented rates of recovery for spinal cord injuries. Individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury safely received a combination of stimulation of a nerve in the neck ...

For extended periods, it rotates the neck, causing misalignment of the cervical spine, nerve discomfort, and tense muscles. Also, strain can arise from the flattening of the lower back's natural ...

Different enhancer AAV vectors were engineered to target different cell types in different regions of the central nervous system, including the spinal cord, the cortex and the striatum.
