Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells, helping them to regrow ...

A venture company in Japan says it is preparing to launch clinical trials for transplanting stem cells developed from iPS cells into patients with damaged spinal cords.

The 3D implant copies the structure of the spinal cord and, combined with growth-promoting particles, stimulates nerve cells to regrow.

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

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.

Zebrafish have genetic characteristics that make it possible to rebuild neural networks after severe injuries.

For people who are partially paralyzed, treatment options are limited. But an intensive new therapy is getting some of these patients back on their feet. Spinal cord damage disrupts the travel of ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by the temporary or permanent loss of motion or sensation function caused by damage to the spinal cord. Among the mechanisms behind SCI, neuroinflammation is ...

Researchers created a 3D biomaterial implant that delivers RNA to injured spinal cord neurons. The approach silences PTEN, removes internal repair barriers, and significantly boosts neuron regrowth in ...

For generations, paralysis from a damaged spinal cord has been seen as permanent. Once the nerves were injured, the signals carrying movement from the brain to the body were lost forever. But ...
