Marcks and Marcks-like 1 proteins are required for normal neurite formation and proliferation of neuro-glial progenitors during development and regeneration of the Xenopus spinal cord implicating ...

The Carl Zeiss Foundation is contributing EUR 6 million to a research project on the regeneration of the nervous system at ...

Comprised of all the nerves in the body outside of the brain and spinal cord, the peripheral nervous system has two vital ...

Axonal growth into the dorsal column of the CNS stops typically at the site of injury (arrows) when a spinal lesion occurs ... and across the severed spinal cord (pink fibers, lower panel).

which they hope will encourage nerve cells to regenerate and grow over a patient's spinal cord injury. The big hope is that ...

EPFL and CHUV researchers have pioneered a new method using deep brain stimulation in the lateral hypothalamus to enhance motor recovery in spinal cord injury patients, leading to significant ...

Professor Shulamit Levenberg, Dean of the Biomedical Engineering Faculty at the Technion, told Reuters: "In this project we managed to induce spinal cord regeneration following complete injury to ...

It is not enough, but it is a significant improvement." A cure would require regeneration of the spinal cord, possibly with stem cell therapies, which are still at a very early stage of research.

A 10-minute brain scan can predict the effectiveness of a risky spinal surgery to alleviate intractable pain. The result gives doctors a much-needed biomarker to discuss with patients considering ...
