Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped how cells in the human spinal cord are formed in the embryo and what genes control the process. Their findings can give rise to new knowledge on how ...

ETH Zurich researchers are combining stem cells with magnetoelectric nanoparticles to create controllable microrobots. These microrobots can be precisely guided to the site of a spinal cord injury, ...

For my entire career as a neurologist the ability to repair an injured spinal cord has been one of the holy grails. There has ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison are developing the means to turn stem cells into a wide range of specific types of spinal cord neurons and cells in the hindbrain—the critical nexus ...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny ...

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.

By Luciana Magalhaes SAO PAULO, June 3 (Reuters) - An experimental treatment for spinal cord injuries has ignited a frenzy in ...

A new PET imaging approach that measures synaptic density in the spinal cord provides a quantitative way to assess the ...

A tethered spinal cord cannot move freely in the spinal canal because it is attached to tissues around the spine. The condition is often seen in infants, leading to pain and nerve damage that worsen ...

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 ...
