The findings support that all cell populations within the implant are in a post mitotic state, meaning there was no evidence ...

A first-in-human trial shows the feasibility and safety of delivering placenta-derived stem cells during prenatal ...

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.

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a research team led by Profs. Dai Jianwu and Zhao Yannan at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury.

New research reveals that scar formation after spinal cord injuries is more complex than previously thought. Scientists have identified two types of perivascular cells as key contributors to scar ...

The healing of the spinal cord depends on carefully timed interactions between injured nerve cells and their surrounding ...

Unique new material has shown significant promise in the treatment of spinal cord injury. The new hybrid biomaterials, in the form of nanoparticles and building on existing practice in the tissue ...

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 ...
