Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the University of Auckland in New Zealand have developed a groundbreaking bioelectric implant that restores movement in rats after ...

Unlike humans, rats have a greater capacity for spontaneous recovery after spinal cord injury, which allowed researchers to compare natural healing with healing supported by electrical stimulation.

A team of researchers at Rowan University has developed an injectable biomaterial that could significantly improve recovery ...

Transformative gains About 250,000 to 400,000 Americans live with a spinal cord injury, and roughly 18,000 more will develop one, usually from traumatic events such as car crashes, each year ...

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin are assessing how the development of spinal ligaments provide mechanical stability and ...

Spinal cord compression (SCC) occurs in 5% to 30% of the oncology population and affects patient function, comfort, and general quality of life. Patients with lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate ...

Spinal cord lesions are more commonly seen in progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, and they can result in an increased risk of disability. In relapsing-remitting MS, which 80 to 85 percent of ...

In a new clinical study, researchers from the Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) at The University of Texas at Dallas demonstrated unprecedented rates of recovery for spinal cord injuries. In this ...

Key takeaways: There is an urgent need to enable functional recovery in people with spinal cord injuries. The goal of NVG-291’s development is to improve neural connections in humans with SCI ...

A spinal cord injury consists of damage to the spinal cord that results from external trauma including accidents, falls and sports-related injuries, rather than a degenerative disease. The effects ...
