Scientists regenerate neurons that restore walking in mice after paralysis from spinal cord injury
Guiding cells to natural target region key to functional recovery
In a new study in mice, a team of researchers from UCLA, the Swiss Federal...
T cells block nerve cell regeneration with age, but can be reversed – mice...
New research in mice shows T cells prevent damaged nerve cells from regenerating due to a reversible, ageing-related mechanism.
Previous research has shown that ageing...
‘Dancing Molecules’ Successfully Repair Severe Spinal Cord Injuries
After single injection, paralyzed animals regained ability to walk within four weeks
Northwestern University investigators have developed a new injectable therapy that harnesses “dancing molecules”...
Drug helps sensory neurons regrow in the mouse central nervous system
Targeting support cells with cholesterol drug could improve recovery after spinal cord injury

Project AxonRepair – Spinal Cord Repair: releasing the neuron-intrinsic brake on axon regeneration
AxonRepair, a multinational collaboration funded under NEURON’s JTC2016 co-funded call, aims to promote axon regeneration in the spinal cord.
Following Spinal Cord Injury, the connections...
‘Zombie cells’ hold clues to spinal cord injury repair
Mammals have a poor ability to recover after a spinal cord injury which can result in paralysis. A main reason for this is the...
Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury on Pace to Soon Enter Human Phase...
In an AAN plenary talk, Mark H. Tuszynski, MD, PhD, detailed the work he and colleagues have done to push stem cell therapy from...
Tadpole nerve regeneration capacity provides clue to treating spinal cord injury
Nagoya University researchers have identified a gene that plays a crucial role in regenerating neurons of African clawed frog tadpoles, which has an unusually...
Injectable Porous Scaffolds Promote Better, Quicker Healing After Spinal Cord Injuries
WASHINGTON, March 9, 2021 — Spinal cord injuries can be life-changing and alter many important neurological functions. Unfortunately, clinicians have relatively few tools to...
Designer protein makes paralyzed mice walk again
Using gene therapy, a research team has succeeded for the first time in getting mice to walk again after a complete cross-sectional injury. The...
