Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) can cause weakness, difficulty controlling movements, and difficulty swallowing and breathing. It can be carried in certain genes. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a ...
Injuries in the central nervous system (CNS)—such as those in the spinal cord—trigger glial scar formation, which inhibits nerve regeneration from healthy neurons surrounding the damage. This results ...
Routine blood samples, such as those taken daily at any hospital and tracked over time, could help predict the severity of an injury and even provide insights into mortality after spinal cord damage, ...

Complex 3D structures of cells called organoids could be used to test treatments for spinal-cord damage that can lead to paralysis.
Nevro yesterday announced that the FDA has granted approval for a study evaluating its high-frequency spinal cord stimulation system for the treatment of chronic pain. The device company’s Senza ...
A series of converging advances in bio-implant technology, from brain-spine interfaces to lab-grown spinal tissue, is bringing the long-elusive goal of spinal cord repair closer to clinical reality.
Spinal cord injury often triggers a cascade of secondary damage that severely limits functional recovery, largely driven by ...
In a petri dish at Northwestern University, researchers grow organoids modeled on the human spinal cord: simplified, lab-made ...
