The brain and spinal cord are your body’s central nervous system. The brain is the command center for your body, and the spinal cord is the pathway for messages sent by the brain to the body and from ...

Sep. 4, 2024 — Researchers have designed, in mice, an approach to minimizing the damage from a spinal cord injury through the use of engineered immune cells. Mice given the treatment had ...

The center collects, stores, and distributes pre- and postmortem tissues including brain, spinal cord, CSF, serum, blood cells, and urine. The center maintains inventories of its tissue and fluid ...

Spinal cord stimulators are designed to address back pain and can be used as part of a patient's treatment plan.

The brain and spinal cord are the central pillars of the human central nervous system (CNS), orchestrating everything from movement to sensation. Despite significant advances in neuroscience ...

The spinal cord can make a comeback. Intensive rehabilitation paired with electric stimulation of the spinal cord allowed six paralyzed people to walk or take steps years after their injuries ...

"We first set out to understand why valproate causes spinal cord malformations in fetuses," Dr. Pietrogrande said. "To do this we created organoids—human mini-spinal cords in a dish—that ...

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 ...

Researchers have designed, in mice, an approach to minimizing the damage from a spinal cord injury through the use of engineered immune cells. Mice given the treatment had improved recovery from ...

Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing, we demonstrated the clonal expansion of mouse and human spinal cord injury-associated T cells and identified that CD4+ T cell clones in mice exhibit antigen ...

A drug called bumetanide, which is used to treat edema in people, reduced this cellular swelling and resulting cell death in mice. Mice given the drug after an injury were better able to move their ...
