In humans and other mammals, spinal cord injuries can be devastating, leading to permanent loss of movement, sensation and ...

Researchers say a surgery that let pigs with completely severed spinal cords walk again may lead to human trials, and then ...

You will, no doubt, be familiar with the 1995 footage of a supposed alien autopsy,” said Sarah Dempster in The Guardian, in ...

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University and Johns Hopkins University have identified genetic mutations that may explain why some people develop a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...

We are providing an unedited version of this manuscript to give early access to its findings. Before final publication, the manuscript will undergo further editing. Please note there may be errors ...

When a two-year-old boy suffered a catastrophic injury that severed the connection between his skull and spine, doctors across Europe told his family there was no hope. His spinal cord was completely ...

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 ...

There is a new hope for people with spinal cord injuries. Doctors are using an experimental, easy to deliver drug, with surprising results. A Chicago are a patient who got the drug says it’s nothing ...

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, ...

Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) has been linked to an elevated long-term risk of developing neurologic, psychiatric, cardiovascular, and endocrine comorbidities, highlighting the need for ...

A research team from the University of Cologne has shown how zebrafish can rebuild their nerve pathways and restore their locomotor function after a spinal cord injury. Specialized connective tissue ...

University of Minnesota researchers developed a 3D-printed scaffold that directs stem cells to grow into functioning nerve cells, successfully restoring movement in rats with severed spinal cords.
