UAB Spinal Cord Injury Medicine Fellowship Program’s Mission is to produce competent and autonomous practicing physicians who are well trained to care for a variety of patients with spinal cord ...

Kessler Foundation researchers have developed robust measures of neighborhood economic factors to study how social determinants influence health outcomes after spinal cord injury (SCI). The study ...

Radiomics offers improved assessment of spinal cord pathology in MS, surpassing conventional MRI in precision and sensitivity. A study identified 12 significant radiomic features, with four ...

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 ...

All participants undergo a baseline assessment on day 1; in the EES+PT group, an epidural electrode is implanted on day 2, stimulation programs are initiated on postoperative day 1 and iteratively ...

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 ...

After a spinal cord injury, cells in the brain and spinal cord change to cope with stress and repair tissue. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, shows that this ...

Neuroscientists have used a nanosized sensor to record spinal cord neurons in free-moving mice, a feat that could lead to the development of better treatments for spinal cord disease and injury.

An individual may become completely paralyzed because of any number of accidents that interfere with the functioning of the ...

A photo of adult human neurons in a dish over a black background shows white splotches with thin strands connecting them and with a scale bar of 50 μm. The team tested thiorphan in neuronal cell ...
