Scientists at Lineage Cell Therapeutics hope to treat spinal cord injuries with an allogeneic therapy created from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Brian Culley “We manufacture oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and inject them in the area of the injury,” explains CEO Brian Culley. “The cells occupy...
The new technique was tested on mice and rats before trying it on human subjects. The breakthrough came after neuroscientists in Lausanne mapped all the neurons in the brain.
The corticospinal tract (CST) is a band of nerve fibres that travels from the brain, through the brain stem and into thespinal cord. This structure is very important for motor function in humans. Injuries to the CST can result in paralysis. Much research has been done, with some progress,...

Ok! Rutgers researchers have developed an innovative new treatment that could help minimize nerve damage in spinal cord injuries, promote tissue healing and minimize pain. Ad After aspinal cordinjury there is an increased production of a protein (RhoA) that blocks regeneration of nerve cells that c...
C. The new electrical device can imitate the brain to send signals to the spinal cord. D. Stimulating the neurons is the focus of the latest research into spinal cord injuries. 2. How does the new device stimulate the spinal cord areas more directly? A. By using the AI system. B. By...
Introduction: Spinal Cord Injuries (SCIs) are the main factor in the sensory disorders, which are caused by spinal cord strikes such as car accidents. Previously it was thought that SCIs could not be treated. However, new advances in neurology showed possible treatment to relieve pain in these...
