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 series of converging advances in bio-implant technology, from brain-spine interfaces to lab-grown spinal tissue, is ...

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.

A venture company in Japan says it is preparing to launch clinical trials for transplanting stem cells developed from iPS cells into patients with damaged spinal cords.

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

Real-time insights reveal BIOTRONIK Neuro's remote monitoring with remote programming led to high rates of therapy use and lower explant rates LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A new ...

A groundbreaking discovery in medical technology is now granting surgeons access to real-time, high-definition images of spinal cords, potentially revolutionizing medical practices and providing hope ...

A new human spinal cord organoid model replicates key injury responses, such as inflammation, cell loss, and scar formation.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) improves walking and promotes recovery in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), new research showed. This intervention excites ...

Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...
