Recent research demonstrates that small molecule activation of the protein KCC2 can reactivate dormant nerve pathways after spinal cord injury in laboratory mice. This molecule may have immense ...

Their initial studies found that AZD1390 stimulated nerve cell growth in culture, and inhibited the ATM protein kinase pathway -- a critical biochemical pathway regulating the response to DNA damage.

A recent review published in Engineering explores the construction and potential applications of spinal cord and peripheral nerve organoids for regenerative medicine in neurotrauma. The article, ...

Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...

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 ...

The regeneration of damaged neurons has been the ultimate goal for a large portion of neuroscience research. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that control neuronal growth is key to developing ...

People worldwide seek medical care for back and neck pain, which can interfere with sleep, mobility and daily life. For individuals who need surgery for spinal conditions, advances in robotics, ...
