In tests on rats, researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Michigan have developed a treatment that helps spinal cord nerves regrow after injury. The findings will be published in the July ...

Aug. 30 (UPI) --Researchers have developed a therapy that regrows fibers after spinal cord injury in rodents, offering potential as a way to restore function like hand strength and bladder control in ...

New research could lead to regenerative therapies for people with injuries to their brachial plexus, a group of nerves that starts at the spinal cord and goes into the arm. New research into the way ...

Leading an active lifestyle may increase the likelihood of damaged nerves regenerating after a spinal cord injury. The early-stage findings, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, ...

It is commonly thought that in MS, the loss of axons (nerve fibres) contributes to the chronic disability found in many patients. This has led to the wide use of MRI to measure the cross sectional ...

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WLNS) – Damaged nerve fibers that can be caused from a spinal cord injury could lead to permanent loss of function. A lot of research has been done to find ways to regenerate nerve ...

The scientists conducted their experiments on isolated spinal cords removed from adult guinea pigs. Researchers fused the cut nerve fibers using a polymer called PEG. Electrical impulses were restored ...

Mark and Brenda Zimmer spend time together at their Lewis Center, Ohio home. Mark was diagnosed with ALS two years ago and actively participates in clinical research to find effective treatments for ...

A scientist who chose to ignore the mainstream nearly 30 years ago has found a new way to regenerate nerves in the spinal cord, at least in animals. A drug that Jerry Silver, a professor of ...

In tests on rats, researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Michigan have developed a treatment that helps spinal cord nerves regrow after injury. The findings will be published in the July ...

Scientists have been able to show that by treating spinal cord injuries in rats with a specific protein already found in the body, they can encourage sensory neurons to regrow and function over large ...

Using rat and mouse models of spinal cord injury, the researchers identified three components to the regeneration of axons in the spinal cord and understood the combination of mechanisms required for ...
