Less than 3% of those with total spinal cord injury ever recover basic physical functions, and about 30% are re-hospitalized at least once during any given year after the initial injury, resulting ...

July 12 (UPI) -- An investigational cancer drug has been shown to help regenerate damaged nerves after spinal trauma with "remarkable recovery" of sensory and motor functions in animals, British ...

Ready, set, go - how stem cells synchronize to repair the spinal cord in axolotls Date: June 22, 2021 Source: Technische Universität Dresden Summary: Few animals can regenerate their spinal cord ...

In the new study, researchers evaluated the effect of two peripheral nerve lesions (injuries) in animals with spinal cord injury. One lesion was made at the time of the cord injury and a second was ...

CBP/p300 activation promotes axon growth, sprouting, and synaptic plasticity in chronic experimental spinal cord injury with severe disability. PLOS Biology, 2022; 20 (9): e3001310 DOI: 10.1371 ...

For the first time, researchers have clearly shown regeneration of a critical type of nerve fiber that travels between the brain and the spinal cord and which is required for voluntary movement ...

Some success has been achieved in animals that are treated immediately after the injury. However, new research shows it’s possible to coax the regeneration of nerve axons in rats as long as a ...

“Regeneration is one of the ‘holy grails’ of biology. Our lab specifically works on spinal cord regeneration,” Mruk says. “One limitation in studying regeneration is that the genetic tools that ...
