In a new study in mice, a team of researchers from UCLA, the Swiss Federal...
Pair of Studies Uncover Surprising New Roles for Spinal Cord and Brainstem in Touch
New research suggests spinal cord and brainstem are essential for processing touch signals as they travel to the brain
The sense of touch is essential...
Scientists identify neurons that restore walking after paralysis
In a multi-year research program coordinated by the two directors of .NeuroRestore—Grégoire Courtine, a neuroscience professor at EPFL, and Jocelyne Bloch, a neurosurgeon at...
Cell reprogramming could aid spinal cord injury recovery
Cells called astrocytes normally support our neurons, and now scientists are working to reprogram the star-shaped cells into neurons that help reconnect the brain...
Can nanotechnology rewire an injured spinal cord?
According to the World Health Organisation, up to a half-million people around the world suffer a spinal cord injury each year. Often caused by...
Regenerating Axons Across Complete Spinal Cord Injury
In a collaboration led by EPFL (Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland and UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) in the USA,...
Spinal Neurons Grown From Stem Cells For First Time
Modern medicine has still not managed to crack the problem of spinal cord injuries that result in significant paralysis or loss of functional status.
There...
Paralyzed Mice Walk Following Drug Therapy
Spinal cord injury (SCI) commonly results in paralysis from the injury site down, even when the spinal cord hasn’t been severed completely. The remaining...
Researchers repair acute spinal cord injury in monkeys
Spinal cord injuries are among the most severe and difficult-to-treat medical conditions, usually resulting in permanent disability including loss of muscle function, sensation and...
