Scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have created spinal cord neural stem cells (NSC) from embryonic human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), which could feasibly ...

As spinal cord injuries increasingly affect older adults, new research reveals a surprising pattern in recovery. The study ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes structural damage to neural circuits, which in turn leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Transplantation of neural precursor cells/stem cells provides a potential ...

Neuroscientists and surgeons successfully grafted human neural progenitor cells into rhesus monkeys with spinal cord injuries. The grafts not only survived, but grew hundreds of thousands of human ...

A team of scientists recently published intriguing research on a tiny, splinter-like brain implant that doctors can slide deep into the folds of the brain and use to restore both muscular control over ...

Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) LKS Faculty of Medicine, and at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have generated human neural stem cells (hNSCs) that exhibit what they claim is ...

Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies announced today that DePuy Synthes is introducing SENTIO MMG, a first-of-its-kind digital mechanomyography platform designed to assess nerve status and ...

Older adults recover nerve function after spinal cord injury just as well as younger patients, but they fall behind when it ...

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Back pain will affect nearly half of older adults, but a Hawaii spine surgeon says the damage starts much earlier than most people realize. Nearly half of people aged 65 or ...
