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

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, ...

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

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

Medium and high doses improved movement quality in up to 100% of the animals in a dose-dependent manner This is a significant milestone for our program, seeing the animals regain the ability to walk, ...

New spinal cord implants promise safer, long-term recovery options for SCI patients, boosting movement, sensation, and hope.

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

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the adult mouse spinal cord reveals molecular diversity of autonomic and skeletal motor neurons Article ...

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

Spinal cord compression produces edema, inflammation, and mechanical compression, which causes direct neural injury to the cord, as well as vascular damage and impairment of oxygenation.

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.
