Researchers have now taken a step toward that vision of molecular systems that repair cells inside the human body. Molecular repair built from a patient’s own cells will eventually ferret out cancer, ...

A research team at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has developed a new implant that conveys electrical signals and may have the potential to encourage nerve cell (neuron) repair after ...

A recent review published in Engineering explores the construction and potential applications of spinal cord and peripheral nerve organoids for regenerative medicine in neurotrauma. The article, ...

A pharmaceutical startup plans to begin a clinical trial in 2027 on a treatment for spinal cord injuries that uses nerve cells engineered from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. K Pharma Inc., an ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

This article is part of a broad series on recent advances in the science and medicine of longevity and aging. The series covers a range of topics, including musculoskeletal health. Expect more ...

Fluorescence imaging can reveal details of neuronal activity in sections of the spinal cords of animals, but collecting data from living subjects can be challenging. Developments in micro-optics ...
