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 ...

A groundbreaking human trial has begun that could transform life for people with spinal cord injuries. The project, developed over three decades, uses a unique cell-based approach that scientists hope ...

A research group at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro has advanced polylaminin, a laminin-based biomaterial, from ...

A new study has tested innovative proof-of-concept technology that syncs electrical stimulation with rehabilitation robotics to enable individuals paralyzed after spinal injury to move more naturally.

An experimental study from the University of Birmingham has brought the long-awaited hope of a treatment for acute spinal cord injury (SCI) one step closer. The research involved using an existing ...

A paradigm shift in the way we treat spinal injuries is now in sight, with the world's first regenerative cell therapy being granted approval for a registrational Phase I clinical trial. It's a ...

Complex 3D structures of cells called organoids could be used to test treatments for spinal-cord damage that can lead to paralysis.

Every September, Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month highlights the life-altering impact of an injury to this essential bone in our bodies. Among the most common causes of spinal trauma are auto ...
