Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating, debilitating, and life-altering condition that currently lacks a definitive cure or highly effective treatment ...

The axolotl is renowned for its extensive ability to regenerate organs and body parts, including its spinal cord. Studies on ...

Auxilium’s pivotal trial aims to enrol 80 patients who will receive its NeuroSpan Bridge device for nerve regeneration or a ...

Auxilium Biotechnologies announced the 1st patient in its clinical trial of an investigational device designed to improve nerve regeneration.

Axon guidance cues direct nerves in the heart during development, disease and regeneration. These cues determine cardiac innervation patterning by regulating the balance between chemo-attraction and ...

According to a new study, a compound found in the blessed thistle plant accelerates the regeneration of damaged nerves, restoring motor function and touch sensation. Damaged nerve fibers (axons ...

Scientists from the Department of Brain Sciences have discovered that the circadian clock regulates axonal regeneration and repair. These findings pave the way for the use of clock-associated ...

Scientists have been exploring ways to enable the regeneration of severed axons, with a view to developing viable treatments in the long term. Damages to the central nervous system (CNS), for ...

In a massive screen of 400 mouse genes, Yale School of Medicine researchers have identified 40 genes actively involved in suppression of axon regeneration in central nervous system cells. By editing ...

“We found that glia have a metabolic switch associated with glucose metabolism that when triggered reverses inhibitory effects on growth and promotes axon regeneration,” commented Shuxin ...
