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 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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 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.
