Timed release of therapeutic molecules from a soft nanofiber-hydrogel implant supports nerve regrowth and circuit repair after spinal injury, restoring movement and bladder control in preclinical ...

In recent decades, high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) has revolutionized the morphological and structural evaluation of peripheral nerves and muscles, revealing details of the internal structure of the ...

A breakthrough in stem cell biology has been 3D-printed in Minnesota—and the lab results show promise for spinal cord injury recovery, and even reversal. A research team at the University of Minnesota ...

In a breakthrough that could transform life after paralysis, scientists have successfully used a tiny spinal implant to restore movement in rats. Spinal cord injuries are currently incurable, with ...

When lower back pain and/or related leg pain are not relieved by conservative treatments such as activity modification, medications, physical therapy, epidural steroid injections, nerve ablation ...

After peripheral nerve injury, the structure of the spinal cord is actively regulated by glial cells, contributing to the chronicity of neuropathic pain. However, the mechanism by which peripheral ...

The obturator nerve is a large, multibranched nerve that travels through your pelvis to your inner thigh. This nerve helps you feel sensations like temperature and pain in your lower limbs. It also ...

Realizing a Phase I human clinical trial commencing to test the efficacy and safety of the transplantation of olfactory cell nerve bridges to treat chronic spinal cord injury. Since the passing of ...

In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), nerve cells in the spinal cord responsible for inhibiting motor neurons are lost in the early stages of the disease, before the motor neurons themselves, ...

Directly applying red-light therapy to a damaged spinal cord protects and regenerates nerve cells, leading to a return of motor and sensory function, according to new research. The treatment could ...
