Neuroscientists at UCLA, Harvard University and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have identified a three-pronged treatment that triggers axons to regrow after complete...
A hydrogel restores breathing after spinal cord injury in animal models
The use of a hydrogel after spinal cord injury is responsible for the restoration of independent breathing control in rats, according to research recently...
Reprogrammed stem cell-derived neurons survive long-term in pigs with spinal cord...
Using stem cell derived neuronal cells reprogrammed from genetically identical animals eliminated the need for immunosuppression measures.

Endangered salamander offers clues on healing spinal cord injury
A recent study detailing the cellular mechanism powering the neuronal regenerative capacities of axolotls (otherwise known as Mexican salamanders) hopes to find new leads...
First dynamic spine brace—the robotic spine exoskeleton—characterises spinal deformities
Designed by Columbia Engineers, the robotic spine exoskeleton (RoSE) is the first device to take in vivo measurements of torso stiffness and to characterise...
