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

Using a novel technique to promote the regeneration of nerve cells across the site of severe spinal cord injury, researchers have restored bladder function in paralyzed adult rats, according to a ...

Medically reviewed by Jennifer Steinhoff, MD A pinched nerve in the lower back occurs when excessive pressure is applied to a nerve, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. Also known as radicular ...

In animal experiments, AZD1236 promoted nerve regeneration, with 80% preservation in nerve function following spinal cord compression injury, which can occur following motor vehicle accidents or ...

The obturator nerve location spans from your lumbar spine to your thigh, and it resembles a forking river. The top of the nerve is rooted in spinal nerves L2, L3, and L4.
