Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between neurons is disrupted, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury ...

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 model may help identify neurogenic bladder and other complications in patients with spinal cord injuries.

Human spinal cord organoids have been used to model different types of spinal cord injuries and test a promising new regenerative therapy.

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 ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human spinal ...

A computational model mechanistically links spinal circuit reorganization to recovered locomotion after incomplete spinal cord injury.

As spinal cord injuries increasingly affect older adults, new research reveals a surprising pattern in recovery. The study shows that aging does not appear to slow the healing of nerves themselves, ...

A Phase 1 human clinical trial to treat chronic spinal cord injury, the first of its kind in the world, has commenced to test the efficacy and safety of a revolutionary new treatment using nasal cells ...
