Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Determine how well common clinical assessments of level and completeness of injury are correlated with symptoms of autonomic blood pressure instability and secondary medical complications after spinal ...

Electroacupuncture Promotes Neural Repair by Inhibiting Calcium-Driven ER Stress After Spinal Cord Injury. Schematic illustration of the proposed mechanism by which electroacupuncture at the Shenshu ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) improves walking and promotes recovery in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), new research showed. This intervention excites ...

A new study maps out a detailed atlas of all the cells involved in regenerating the zebrafish spinal cord. In an unexpected finding, the researchers showed that survival and adaptability of the ...

We made a narrative review in which are summarized different primary studies from which conclusions may be drawn in a systematic way and from a holistic point of view, contributed by researcher’s own ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

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 two-part clinical trial led by University of Cincinnati researchers at the Lindner Center of HOPE is testing the use of noninvasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord as a treatment for major ...

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems are ...

When a two-year-old boy suffered a catastrophic injury that severed the connection between his skull and spine, doctors across Europe told his family there was no hope. His spinal cord was completely ...

Researchers at Brown University have demonstrated that targeted electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore both voluntary movement and sensory feedback in people with chronic, ...
