Neural stem cell treatment was safe and significantly boosted myelin repair in spinal cord lesions in a mouse model of MS, ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are ...

A team of researchers at Rowan University has developed an injectable biomaterial that could significantly improve recovery ...

New research reveals that a cancer-related signaling pathway plays a key role in maintaining blood vessel integrity in the ...

The instinct to protect and secure a child’s future—especially when it comes to their health—is one of the deepest and most ...

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

New technique preserves major nerves, blood vessels, and other critical structures in a hard-to-access area. In a ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute have uncovered how a cluster of thalamic neurons links physical pain to emotional trauma, ...

Their work was recently published in Stem Cell Reports. Interestingly, spinal microtissues made from ALS patients secreted more inflammatory proteins than microtissues from healthy donors.

Cord blood is the blood in your baby's umbilical cord and your placenta. It houses potentially lifesaving cells called stem cells, which can develop into mature blood cells, including red blood cells, ...

To be able to study ALS-linked neuroinflammation in the lab, researchers generated “spinal microtissues” containing motor neurons and immune cells from ALS patients' stem cells.
