Human spinal cord organoids have been used to model different types of spinal cord injuries and test a promising new regenerative therapy.

Your spinal cord can make its own memories independent of your brain, neuroscientists have found. The discovery opens up new avenues for treating patients in recovery from spinal cord injuries and ...

Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells, helping them to regrow ...

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 ...

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered a surprising repair system in the spinal cord that could open new doors for treating paralysis, stroke, and diseases like multiple sclerosis. They found that ...

Tethered spinal cord syndrome is a rare neurological disorder where the spinal cord is attached, or tethered, to the tissues around the spine. This tethering of the spinal cord restricts its movements ...

After someone experiences a spinal cord injury, doctors set off on a race against the clock. Within a few hours, they rush patients into surgery and administer anti-inflammatory drugs, ranging from ...

Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which is the space in the center of the vertebrae containing the spinal cord and nerve roots. At its most severe or final stage — known as ...

Your spinal cord needs a steady blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. This blood helps the spinal cord cells send nerve impulses to the rest of your body. The impulses are ...

Our Spinal Cord Injury Program specializes in caring for spinal cord injury patients immediately after the injury and during rehabilitation and recovery. We offer treatment options that are unique in ...
