Spinal cord injury often triggers a cascade of secondary damage that severely limits functional recovery, largely driven by ...

A research group at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro has advanced polylaminin, a laminin-based biomaterial, from ...

A secondary stress signaling pathway in the response to optic axon injury is an unexpectedly strong contributor to both neurodegeneration and axon regenerative potential.

Human spinal cord organoids have been used to model different types of spinal cord injuries and test a promising new regenerative therapy.

Adult mammals exhibit limited regenerative capacity in the central nervous system (CNS), leading to irreversible deficits following injury or disease. Effective strategies to restore CNS function ...

Spinal cord injuries cause permanent paralysis in part because inflammation, cell death, and glial scarring block nerve regeneration, and there has been no reliable human tissue model to test ...

A NEW study has uncovered a key molecular pathway that helps explain why nerve regeneration is impaired in diabetes, and importantly, how this barrier to repair might be reversed. The findings provide ...

Effective axon regeneration is critical for restoring nerve function in patients with axon injury-related neurological diseases, yet adult mammals show limited regenerative capacity in central axonal ...

Cigliola discussed zebrafish spinal regeneration and its applicability to humans on Sept. 18. What’s striped, native to Southeast Asia and regrows spinal neurons in under 10 weeks? It comes as no ...
