AS stated in the preface, the present volume (being the Fullerian Lectures for 1891) discusses the spinal cord and ganglia alone, and is to be followed by two others, dealing respectively with the ...

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 ...

Millions of people worldwide are living with chronic spinal cord injuries, with 250,000 to 500,000 new cases each year—most from vehicle crashes or falls. The most severe spinal cord injuries ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal ...

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 ...

The spinal cord is harder to access and study than even the brain. The challenges posed by its mobility and anatomical structure have made understanding exactly how it functions difficult. Rice ...

Timed release of therapeutic molecules from a soft nanofiber-hydrogel implant supports nerve regrowth and circuit repair after spinal injury, restoring movement and bladder control in preclinical ...

CLEVELAND – June 26, 2013 – For the first time, researchers have restored significant bladder function through nerve regeneration in rats with the most severe spinal cord injuries (SCI). The ...

The 3D implant copies the structure of the spinal cord and, combined with growth-promoting particles, stimulates nerve cells to regrow.

There are two main classifications of spinal cord injury: complete and incomplete. These terms refer to the levels of sensation and movement that a person may or may not have after the injury. People ...

Ninety percent of paralyzed patients regained strength or function in their upper limbs after receiving an experimental therapy, a new study found. After receiving spinal cord simulation from ONWARD ...
