Researchers report specific gene signatures can help to predict functional recovery following spinal cord injury.
A new study reveals reverting neurons to an early growth state can help reconnect severed spinal cord nerves in rodent models of SCI.
Researchers say a novel enzyme treatment may reduce inflammation and scarring that prevents neural regeneration in spinal cord injury.
Researchers have successfully restored the ability to walk in mice paralyzed as a result of spinal cord injuries with the help of a small molecular compound.
Researchers have successfully used stem cell therapy to regenerate neurons in damaged areas of zebra fish spinal cords. The treatment helped to restore movement following SCI. The findings raise the possibility of developing new treatments for humans suffering paralysis as a result of spinal cord injury.
Researchers have successfully restored hand function and motor skills in rats who suffered paralysis as a result of spinal cord injury.
By transplanting V2a interneurons, researchers improved respiratory function in mice with spinal cord injuries, a new study reports.
A new study challenges conventional belief that myelin can inhibit neuronal growth. Researchers report rat myelin stimulated axon outgrowths in neural precursor cells, and human iPSCs.
A new, non invasive spinal stimulation method has helped restore movement to hands of paralyzed patients, researchers report.
Researchers have successfully induced the sensations of touch and movement in the arm of a paralyzed man, with the help of a tiny array of electrodes implanted into the somatosensory cortex.
Using electrochemical stimulation and robot assisted rehabilitation techniques, researchers restore walking ability in a paraplegic rat. The study reports reorganization of neural branching in the reticular formation leads to new connections and is key to motor skill recovery.
Researchers improve the recovery of function in mice following spinal cord injury.
