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, ...

An experimental cancer drug can regenerate damaged nerves following spinal trauma in mice and rats. The corresponding report was published in Clinical and Translational Medicine. Spinal cord injury ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising new role for netrin1, a crucial protein in neural development, as a regulator that limits bone morphogenetic protein signaling in the developing spinal cord.

Researchers uncover dynamic “dancing” molecules in spinal cord organoids, offering insights into neural development and ...

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

May 20 (UPI) --An existing drug could help limit damage caused by an injury to the spinal cord by blocking the inflammatory response, potentially restoring some movement, researchers said Friday. The ...

Scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have uncovered an unexpected role for the molecule netrin1 in organizing the developing spinal ...
