Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a ...

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, ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-based molecular tests can reliably distinguish multiple sclerosis (MS) from other neurological conditions, according to a new study that analyzed cryopreserved CSF samples ...

Evanston, Ill.-based Northwestern University scientists have created the most advanced human spinal cord injury organoid model to date, enabling researchers to test regenerative therapies in lab-grown ...

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

THURSDAY, April 3, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental blood test might be able to help doctors predict whether someone will recover their mobility following a spinal cord injury. The test looks ...

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 ...

High levels of a certain enzyme in the fluid around a person’s brain and spinal cord could be a sign that they have Parkinson’s disease – potentially enabling the condition to be diagnosed earlier.

There is a new hope for people with spinal cord injuries. Doctors are using an experimental, easy to deliver drug, with ...

Spine simulators developed at Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN) should help device companies design more-durable implants. Firms can use the hydraulic machines, which reproduce the motions and ...
