Timed release of therapeutic molecules from a soft nanofiber-hydrogel implant supports nerve regrowth and circuit repair after spinal injury, restoring movement and bladder control in preclinical ...

AI's use in medicine could soon extend to one of the medical world's toughest challenges: helping the paralyzed regain movement. Intel and Brown University have started work on a DARPA-backed ...

When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the ...

Researchers trying to help people suffering from paralysis after a spinal cord injury or stroke mapped critical brain-to-spinal cord nerve connections that drive voluntary movement in forelimbs, a ...

When the spinal cord is injured, the damaged nerve fibers--called axons--are normally incapable of regrowth, leading to permanent loss of function. Considerable research has been done to find ways to ...

Neurological functions following spinal cord injury have generally been assessed using the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale. However, the scale primarily evaluates motor ...

What Is the Cervical Spine? Where Is the Cervical Spine Located? A long, flexible column extending through most of your upper body, the spinal column consists of seven bones called vertebrae. The ...

The obturator nerve is a large, multibranched nerve that travels through your pelvis to your inner thigh. This nerve helps you feel sensations like temperature and pain in your lower limbs. It also ...

A drug developed at Case Western at Case Western Biotechnology Incubator is showing promise in helping paralyzed patients ...
