Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

A new human spinal cord organoid model replicates key injury responses, such as inflammation, cell loss, and scar formation.

Zaida Álvarez Pinto, Principal Investigator at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant, one of the most prestigious and competitive sources of ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward treating spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. In lab dishes, researchers at Northwestern University grew tiny organoids of the human spinal cord. Then, ...

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered a surprising repair system in the spinal cord that could open new doors for treating paralysis, stroke, and diseases like multiple sclerosis. They found that ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three people with a muscle-destroying disease destined to worsen got a little stronger – able to stand and walk more easily – when an implanted device zapped their spinal cord. On ...

Inflammatory and structural abnormalities may be common in the axial skeleton among patients with axial spondyloarthritis.
