Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...

A research team has recently made a significant advancement in spinal cord injury treatment by using genetically modified human neural stem cells (hNSCs). They found that specifically modulating a ...

As spine leaders look ahead to 2026, enthusiasm around regenerative medicine and neuromodulation continues to build. But much of the conversation still flattens a field that is far more complex than ...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) LKS Faculty of Medicine, and at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have generated human neural stem cells (hNSCs) that exhibit what they claim is ...

Netrin1 is a protein that was first characterized for its axon guidance activities during embryonic development. The netrin family has been shown to play many critical roles in developmental and ...

Zaida Álvarez Pinto, Principal Investigator at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), has been awarded an ERC ...

Cord blood cells are easily available and preserved, and they could potentially serve as a routine starting material for isolation and expansion of cells for allogenic as well as authologous ...

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 5, 2025 – A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular ...

Researchers report successfully implanting specialized grafts of neural stem cells directly into spinal cord injuries in mice, then documenting how the grafts grew and filled the injury sites, ...

In a study published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers led by Profs. DAI Jianwu and ZHAO Yannan from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have ...
