Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes structural damage to neural circuits, which in turn leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Transplantation of neural precursor cells/stem cells provides a potential ...

What is the anatomy of the spinal cord? The human spinal cord is a cylindrical structure of nerve tissue that is protected by the spinal column and composed of uniformly organized white and grey ...

Spinal cord circuits are indispensable for sensory information processing and controlling reflexive and adaptive behaviors, such as those driven by pain and itch, as demonstrated by genetic, ...

We investigated aging-related changes in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) in the spinal cord of aged dogs. At all levels of the spinal cord examined, NADPH-d activities ...

The brain and spinal cord are the central pillars of the human central nervous system (CNS), orchestrating everything from movement to sensation. Despite significant advances in neuroscience, our ...

Spinal cord injuries are notoriously difficult to treat, especially for those who have been paralyzed for several years. Now, researchers have developed a new implant that is able to reverse paralysis ...

A joint group of Chinese scientists has recently confirmed the safety and preliminary effective of NeuroRegen Scaffold transplantation for spinal cord injury repair. Results were published in Science ...

Tethered spinal cord syndrome is a rare neurological disorder where the spinal cord is attached, or tethered, to the tissues around the spine. This tethering of the spinal cord restricts its movements ...

A tethered spinal cord cannot move freely in the spinal canal because it is attached to tissues around the spine. The condition is often seen in infants, leading to pain and nerve damage that worsen ...

The diagnosis of a spinal cord tumor rightfully terrifies our patients, but it’s not just the tumor they worry about. They ...
