In the center of your body’s repair system are tiny cells with mighty power—pericytes. These small but active cells surround ...

Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now made the first-ever "live" observations of how this protective layer is formed.

Over days, weeks, and even months, the neuroscientists recorded images of the same rodent brains, focusing on the nerve cell branches known as dendrites. In particular, the groups studied each ...

Technique to promote nerve regeneration after spinal cord injury restores bladder function in rats Date: June 25, 2013 Source: Society for Neuroscience Summary: Using a novel technique to promote ...

In spinal cord nerves, mitochondria can be found along the axons. When axons are injured, the nearby mitochondria are often damaged as well, impairing ATP production in injured nerves.

Key takeaways: Phase 3 clinical trial included 134 adults with full neuroaxis MRI and no new NMOSD symptoms. At 28 weeks, 15% of patients on Uplizna had asymptomatic spinal cord lesions, which ...

Spinal cord injury is a devastating and often paralysing condition. One person suffers a spinal cord injury every week in Ireland, and there are over 2,300 individuals and families living with ...

It is known that scar tissue, which forms following spinal cord injury, creates an impenetrable barrier to nerve regeneration, leading to the irreversible paralysis associated with spinal injuries ...
