Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which ...

Learn how lab-grown brains could help scientists reawaken nerve regeneration.

A tiny clump of lab-grown human brain cells, no bigger than a lentil, sent nerve fibers into a slice of spinal cord tissue ...

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect up, which underlies our movements. They used this model to show how damage to these ...

For the first time, scientists have grown a tiny, three-dimensional model of the earliest developmental stages of the human central nervous system in the lab. The new model is a type of organoid — a ...

Hopes that nerve damage previously considered untreatable could eventually be reversible have been sparked by University of ...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny ...

Spinal cord injuries can have devastating consequences for those affected. Nerve cells in the spinal cord rarely regenerate ...

For my entire career as a neurologist the ability to repair an injured spinal cord has been one of the holy grails. There has ...

Fluorescent micrographs showing increased neurite outgrowth from a human spinal cord organoid treated with fast-moving “dancing molecules” (left) compared to one treated with slow-moving molecules ...

Researchers at the University of Ottawa have made a significant advancement in the field of spinal cord injury research, developing a novel optogenetic mouse model that could lead to improved ...

ETH Zurich researchers are combining stem cells with magnetoelectric nanoparticles to create controllable microrobots. These microrobots can be precisely guided to the site of a spinal cord injury, ...
