Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury.

The healing of the spinal cord depends on carefully timed interactions between injured nerve cells and their surrounding ...

A series of converging advances in bio-implant technology, from brain-spine interfaces to lab-grown spinal tissue, is bringing the long-elusive goal of spinal cord repair closer to clinical reality.

A recent review published in Engineering explores the construction and potential applications of spinal cord and peripheral nerve organoids for regenerative medicine in neurotrauma. The article, ...

Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling ...

Injury to the spinal cord triggers a cascade of biological events that unfold within seconds and that proceed for months or even years. The events affect three major bodily systems: the nervous system ...

Spinal cord tumors are growths that develop in the spinal canal. These growths can originate from either the spinal cord itself or the bones that surround the spinal cord. Spinal cord tumors make up ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Conditions such as diabetes, heart attack and vascular diseases commonly diagnosed in people with spinal cord injuries can be traced to abnormal post-injury neuronal activity that causes abdominal fat ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a condition that causes the degeneration of the nerve cells in the nervous system, affecting certain neurons in the spinal cord. ALS is a fatal disease that ...
