A groundbreaking study from UC San Diego has identified Thiorphan, an existing drug, as a potential game-changer for spinal ...

One of the great tragedies that goes along with spinal injury is paralysis. This happens because our damaged nerve cells can’t fully regenerate. But what if we could unlock the key to neural ...

When the spinal cords of mice and humans are partially damaged, the initial paralysis is followed by the extensive, spontaneous recovery of motor function. However, after a complete spinal cord injury ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers at Purdue University have developed a technique using spun-sugar filaments to create a scaffold of tiny synthetic tubes that might serve as conduits to regenerate ...

Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The discovery could unlock new ways to treat nerve injuries and even restore ...

Scientists have flipped the script on a common cancer target in an effort to regenerate nerves and protect cardiac tissue from damage. “There are currently no approved medicines to regenerate nerves [ ...

A new discovery, successfully tested in mice, suggests it could be possible to chemically reprogram and repair damaged nerves after spinal cord injury or brain trauma. A new discovery, successfully ...

One of the main problems preventing optimal regeneration following peripheral nerve injuries is that axons within severed nerves have difficulty regenerating and reaching their target. This may be ...

Scientists have found a way to get damaged nerve cells in the brains of mice to repair themselves, a finding that may lead to new treatments for spinal cord and brain injuries. By turning off proteins ...
