Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human spinal ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Organoids developed from human stem cells modeled spinal cord injuries, providing a powerful in vitro tool to evaluate ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between ...

Organoids modeled on the structure of the human spinal cord have been shown to match the behavior of an injured spine. Now, a treatment that has worked well in mice has been applied to the organoids, ...

Invitae boosted its genetic testing menu with a new test for the diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy, the second-leading genetic disease in infants. The test provides “significant improvements” over ...

Doctors may be able to reliably predict a person's chance of developing Alzheimer's disease from a simple analysis of their cerebral spinal fluid, according to a study released Monday. The study, ...

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms ...
