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

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

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

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.

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, ...

A recent review published in Engineering explores the construction and potential applications of spinal cord and peripheral nerve organoids for regenerative medicine in neurotrauma. The article, ...

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 ...

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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a condition that causes the degeneration of the nerve cells in the nervous system, affecting certain neurons in the spinal cord. ALS is a fatal disease that ...
