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 ...

A research group at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro has advanced polylaminin, a laminin-based biomaterial, from ...

A new risk prediction model shows good predictive value in identifying risk for neurogenic bladder (NB) after spinal cord injury (SCI) and guiding clinical interventions, according to a study ...

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 ...

Organoids have transformed biomedical research by giving scientists miniature versions of human organs to study in the lab.

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, ...

Three patients are suing Nura Pain Clinic saying they were severely injured after doctors placed spinal cord stimulators.

Spinal cord injury remains one of the most challenging neurological conditions to treat, largely because damage continues to ...
