Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

Your spinal cord can make its own memories independent of your brain, neuroscientists have found. The discovery opens up new avenues for treating patients in recovery from spinal cord injuries and ...

As spinal cord injuries increasingly affect older adults, new research reveals a surprising pattern in recovery. The study ...

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 ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

A study published in Neurology looks at how age may affect recovery for people with spinal cord injuries. "With population growth and improvements in medicine, the number of people diagnosed with ...

A bruised spine, or spinal contusion, can be a serious injury that may cause disability. It can occur due to trauma damaging the tissue of the spine, resulting in bleeding, inflammation, and pain. The ...

University of Minnesota researchers developed a 3D-printed scaffold that directs stem cells to grow into functioning nerve cells, successfully restoring movement in rats with severed spinal cords.

After a life-altering accident, Christopher Reeve and his wife, Dana Reeve, went on to do incredible work improving the lives of others with spinal cord injuries — which is now documented in the new ...

Precision Neuroscience’s brain-computer interface—a wireless device that aims to restore function to people with paralysis—is getting a boost from SCI Ventures. The fund is backed by the Christopher & ...
