Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

The study introduces a novel "multi-route" administration protocol for Wharton’s Jelly-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs). Unlike previous trials that relied on a single delivery method, this ...

The nervous system has two major parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central system is the primary command center for the body, and is comprised of the ...

Addressing the question of whether and how immune cells (macrophages) in the central nervous system (CNS) traffic out, researchers have now identified a perineural pathway through which the HIV virus ...

Researchers trying to help people suffering from paralysis after a spinal cord injury or stroke mapped critical brain-to-spinal cord nerve connections that drive voluntary movement in forelimbs, a ...

(a) The various types of neurons in the spinal cord are distributed according to their anatomical locations. (b) The rostral–caudal (RC) axis of the spinal cord is established by gradients of RA, FGF8 ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that the nervous system's own immune cells help protect the spinal cord ...

A preclinical study with mice has shown that Gabapentin, a drug that is commonly used in nerve pain could be useful for patients with spinal cord injury. Use of the drug showed improvement in upper ...

A study has found, for the first time in humans, that patients with chronic sciatica -- back pain that shoots down the leg -- have evidence of inflammation in key areas of the nervous system. A study ...
