Researchers have recreated the human ascending sensory pathway in a lab dish, using organoids that model the key brain and ...

Keio University researchers used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) created by stimulating mature, specialized cells ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe traumatic condition that frequently results in various neurological disabilities, including significant sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunctions. Ferroptosis, a ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a disorder affecting the motor neurons—nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movement. These cells are located in the spinal cord. Because the muscles cannot ...

You can divide up all the nerves in the body into roughly two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system contains two organs—the brain and the ...

A stem cell treatment helped improve the motor function of two out of four patients with a spinal cord injury in the first clinical study of its kind, Japanese scientists said. There is currently ...

The CNS includes the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. A misdirected inflammatory response damages nerve cells of a protective coating called myelin. Myelin coats the nerve fibers from the ...

putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, leading to discomfort and pain As the body adjusts to support the growing fetus, pregnancy-related changes in posture and weight distribution can ...

A spinal cord injury is a life-altering event. The nerves inside the spinal cord have been damaged, therefore interrupting the flow of information from the brain to the body. For some patients, this ...

Researchers at NeuroRestore, led by Grégoire Courtine and Jocelyne Bloch, have developed a technology that combines rehabilitation robotics with an implanted spinal cord neuroprosthesis. Integrating ...

Nerve cells in the spinal cord do not regenerate easily and scar tissue forms ... NervGen is currently conducting pharmacokinetic, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and exploratory ...
