The healing of the spinal cord depends on carefully timed interactions between injured nerve cells and their surrounding ...

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

A series of converging advances in bio-implant technology, from brain-spine interfaces to lab-grown spinal tissue, is bringing the long-elusive goal of spinal cord repair closer to clinical reality.

Automatic personalization of electrode placement for transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation can take it to the next level.

Northwestern University researchers have developed a new injectable therapy that harnesses “dancing molecules” to reverse paralysis and repair tissue after severe spinal cord injuries. In a new study, ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling ...

New research and technology suggest hope for those suffering from paralysis. Researchers rapidly restored motor function in three men with complete paralysis using an epidural electrical stimulation ...

Spinal cord tumors are growths that develop in the spinal canal. These growths can originate from either the spinal cord itself or the bones that surround the spinal cord. Spinal cord tumors make up ...
