Promising therapeutic approach for spinal cord injuries
The healing ability of the central nervous system is very limited and injuries to the brain or spinal cord often result in permanent functional...
Electrical implant could improve daily activities for people with spinal cord injuries: study
https://youtu.be/Jdk7BGL2ZNc
An experimental treatment that sends electrical currents through the spinal cord has improved “invisible” yet debilitating side effects for a B.C. man with a...
Half of spinal cord injury patients may still have some connectivity, Australian study finds
The sensation James Stanley misses most is the squidgey feeling of wet sand between his toes. Sometimes it's dangling his legs into cool water,...
People with tetraplegia gain rapid use of brain-computer interface
For a brain-computer interface (BCI) to be truly useful for a person with tetraplegia, it should be ready whenever it's needed, with minimal expert...
Spinal cord injury affects the heart
Spinal cord injury affects the heart, that's what research published in Experimental Physiology and carried out by researchers from University of British Columbia, Canada...
Scientists discover new way to help nerve regeneration in spinal cord injury
There is currently no cure for spinal cord injury or treatment to help nerve regeneration so therapies offering intervention are limited. People with severe...
New Neural Network Can Restore Diaphragm Function after Spinal Cord Injury
Bottom Line: A team of neuroscientists has uncovered a neural network that can restore diaphragm function after spinal cord injury. The network allows the diaphragm...
New functional scoring helps better treatment for SCI during hESC
During the past 2 decades, cell-based therapies for SCI have been researched in several studies. Replacement of damaged neural tissues and re-establishing connections between...
Researchers Turn Skin Cells into Motor Neurons Without Using Stem Cells
Cellular Renovation
Why build something from the ground up when one can just renovate an already existing structure? Essentially, that’s what researchers from the University...
Nanoparticles limit damage in spinal cord injury
Injection after an injury reduces inflammation and scarring
After a spinal cord injury, a significant amount of secondary nerve damage is caused by inflammation and...
