Credit: Bioengineering (2025). DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering12040410 There are over 15 million people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) worldwide.

"We are looking forward to completing the data analysis, unblinding the data, and presenting the first results from the chronic cohort in this initial proof-of-concept, double-blind, ...

It sends signals wirelessly from the brain to the intact, healthy part of the spinal cord on the other side of the injury to enable a person to move or have other critical functions.

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 ...

Researchers first studied rodents with an incomplete SCI — an injury that damages 83.2% of the spinal cord leading to paralysis of the lower limbs. They used “very powerful” anatomical and ...

Inhibiting secondary cell death and promoting neuronal regeneration are critical for nerve repair after spinal cord injury (SCI). The excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after SCI ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) could benefit from a future treatment to repair nerve connections using red and near-infrared light. The method, invented by scientists at the University of ...

After someone experiences a spinal cord injury, doctors set off on a race against the clock. Within a few hours, they rush patients into surgery and administer anti-inflammatory drugs, ranging ...

Sometimes after the injury, there's ongoing pressure and swelling involved with the spinal cord that has the potential to add more injury. So the sooner that you can get into an acute care center, ...

Serious spinal cord injury (SCI) can be life changing and traumatic—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. However, a good team of health care providers can help patients adjust to new ways of ...
