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 ...

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

Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a new study, the research team used lab-grown human spinal cord ...

Directly applying red-light therapy to a damaged spinal cord protects and regenerates nerve cells, leading to a return of motor and sensory function, according to new research. The treatment could ...

In a new clinical study, researchers from the Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) at The University of Texas at Dallas demonstrated unprecedented rates of recovery for spinal cord injuries. In this ...

Spinal cord injury remains one of the most challenging neurological conditions to treat, largely because damage continues to worsen long after the initial trauma. Secondary injury processes—driven by ...
