Researchers have developed a novel 3D printed scaffolding that mimics natural anatomy and boost stem cell treatment for spinal cord repair. While the initial scaffolds have been designed for rat models of SCI, researchers report the approach is scalable to humans. Read More
Researchers have been able to successfully boost the regeneration of mature nerve cells in the spinal cord of adult mice following spinal cord injury. Read More
A new study reveals reverting neurons to an early growth state can help reconnect severed spinal cord nerves in rodent models of SCI. Read More
Researchers reveal a neuroendocrine system reflex may trigger an increased susceptibility to contracting bacterial infections following injuries to the brain or spinal cord. Read More
Researchers restore significant bladder function, through nerve regeneration, in rats with severe spinal cord injuries. Read More
Enhancing mitochondrial transportation and cellular energetics could help promote regeneration and function following spinal cord injury. Read More
Using a brain computer interface, researchers help a paralyzed man regain a sensation of touch via a robotic arm. Read More
Researchers report a paralyzed man has been able to regain functional control of his hand with the help of a brain implant that works with new software. Read More
A new study looks at the interplay between sensorimotor and visual representations of the body following spinal cord injury. Read More
Researchers were able to restore the sense of touch to a 28-year-old who suffered a spinal cord injury with the help of new brain-computer interface technology. Read More
V2a interneurons could potentially repair spinal cord injuries, researchers report. Read More
Epidural stimulation has helped improve some of the 'hidden' effects, such as abnormal blood pressure and bladder dysfunction, in a patient with spinal cord injury. Read More
