Hydrocephalus poses a significant threat to the pediatric population, with a prevalence of approximately 6 per 10,000 and a neonatal mortality rate of 13% pre-hospital discharge (Wright et al., 2016).
Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains one of the most devastating medical conditions, severely impacting quality of life and often leading to permanent disability. The central nervous system (CNS) has a ...
Hydrocephalus is a pathological condition with accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. This condition may be congenital or acquired, and often associated with neurodegenerative ...
Viruses may spark hydrocephalus by exploiting a surprising weakness of cells that circulate fluid in the brain, called ependymal cells, report scientists. The researchers discovered that ependymal ...
Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) represent a unique, heterogeneous population of neoplasms and include both benign and malignant tumors. The present study was carried out on a total of 79 ...
Phase II study of ginkgo biloba in irradiated brain tumor survivors: Effects on quality of life (QOL), mood, and cognitive function. Background: Ependymomas are rare tumors of the brain and spinal ...
Cryo-EM has solved yet another molecular riddle. In the September 6 Acta Neuropathologica, scientists led by Bernardino Ghetti, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, reported that ...
Researchers at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explored the regenerative mechanisms behind spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. By constructing ...
Ependymomas are rare primary gliomas that commonly affect both children and adults, but unique as survival is worse in children. The 2004–2009 average annual age-adjusted incidence rate of ependymal ...
