Researchers have developed drug-loaded nanoparticles that selectively target the cells responsible for causing damaging inflammation following a spinal cord injury. Given to mice soon after an injury, ...

CHICAGO — Scientists say they've found a promising experimental treatment to repair the spinal cord after a severe injury. It could also work in people who have been paralyzed. The nanotechnology uses ...

When the spinal cords of mice and humans are partially damaged, the initial paralysis is followed by the extensive, spontaneous recovery of motor function. However, after a complete spinal cord injury ...

This project focuses on creating a 3D printed device to grow a human spinal cord organoid for the study of spinal cord injury and subsequent drug testing. Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia ...

With a zap of electricity from well-placed electrodes on the back of the neck, patients with tetraplegia can regain some modest yet potentially “life-changing” functioning of their hands and arms, ...

Historically, paralysis from spinal cord damage has been grave and irreversible. But incredibly, that’s now starting to change, as evidenced by new research published this week in the journal Nature ...

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Conquer Paralysis Now, a non-profit organization aimed at advancing spinal cord injury research, will break ground on its new headquarters in Indianapolis on Thursday. The ...

Machine learning decodes brain signals for paralysis recovery in just one second using sensors placed on scalp not inside ...

Scientists at Northwestern University in Chicago, with funding from the National Institutes of Health, have successfully bypassed the spinal cord and restored fine motor control to paralyzed limbs ...
