The study, which followed four patients with chronic spinal cord injuries for five years, found that two patients showed durable evidence of neurological improvement after treatment with neural stem ...

Cervical myelopathy results from compression of the spinal cord in the neck (cervical area of the spine). Symptoms of cervical myelopathy may include problems with fine motor skills, pain or stiffness ...

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) cells demonstrate neuroprotective properties, but it is unknown whether cells obtained from preterm cord blood (PCB) vs. term cord blood (TCB) have similar efficacy.

Cervical myelopathy can be caused by a number of conditions that result from spinal cord compression. Some relatively common causes are severe cervical spondylosis (osteoarthritis of the spine) − this ...

Spinal stenosis means a narrowing of the spinal canal – a space within the spine which protects the spinal cord and nerve roots. Lumbar refers to segment of your spine that contains the five spinal ...

Diseases involving the spinal cord include a heterogeneous group of abnormalities, including those of inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, vascular, metabolic, and traumatic origin. Making the ...

The axolotl is renowned for its extensive ability to regenerate organs and body parts, including its spinal cord. Studies on ...

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems ...

What is an acute spinal cord injury? Your spine is made of many bones called vertebrae. Your spinal cord runs downward through a canal in the center of these bones. The spinal cord is a bundle of ...

The new delivery systems carry genetic material into the brain and spinal cord for targeted use by specific cell types. This platform has the potential to transform how scientists can study neural ...
