An MRI scan to look for lesions with a vein running through it can replace the need for an invasive spinal tap to efficiently ...

West Nile virus genetic material in mosquitoes has been detected in Britain for the first time - here are the symptoms of the ...

SMA gene therapy GC101 was found to rescue disease manifestations in mice and to be safe in non-human primates.

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. In mouse experiments, scientists ...

Patients implanted with a spinal cord simulation system reported less severe pain from baseline to follow up. Treatment also improved sensory nerve function and thermoregulation in extremities.

Researchers at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explored the regenerative mechanisms behind spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. By constructing ...

"Together with the simultaneous recording of responses from peripheral nerves, the brainstem and the cortex, our multi-channel spinal cord electrophysiology method provides the missing building block ...

Medtronic said Friday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new spinal-cord implant that relieves chronic pain, a bid to expand into a patient population that relies heavily on ...

which is the space in the center of the vertebrae containing the spinal cord and nerve roots. At its most severe or final stage — known as grade 3 — it can squeeze and change the spinal cord ...

Ian Harris receives funding from research organisations unrelated to spinal cord stimulators. He was interviewed for the Four Corners episode referred to. Adrian C Traeger receives research ...

The implant delivers bursts of electrical signals, stimulating his spinal cord to make his leg muscles move. A man with Parkinson’s disease has regained the ability to walk after physicians ...

However, after a complete spinal cord injury, this natural repair of the spinal cord doesn't occur and there is no recovery. Meaningful recovery after severe injuries requires strategies that ...
