A pinched spinal cord does not exhibit shooting pain, but it can mess with body’s overall stability. Here's all the symptoms ...

Unique new material has shown significant promise in the treatment of spinal cord injury. The new hybrid biomaterials, in the form of nanoparticles and building on existing practice in the tissue ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

In what is being described as a world-first, scientists in Israel have reportedly grown spinal cord implants utilizing tissue extracted from human volunteers. Those implants were then used to ...

Spinal cord injuries lead to permanent paralysis, and unfortunately there isn’t much that doctors can do to repair the damage. But a new study may help improve the outcomes, with researchers ...

Lumbar retrolisthesis is when parts of your spine, known as vertebrae, slip backward on one another. This puts a lot of pressure on the vertebrae and various parts of the spine, causing back and ...

The newly identified spinal stem cells, found in both mice and humans, secrete a protein called MFGE8 that acts as a tumor attractant, the team discovered, drawing cancer cells to spinal tissue.

Conventional spinal stimulators are implanted either on the spinal cord's dorsal surface (facing the person's back) or directly into the spinal tissue. According to Lin, neither strategy is ideal: The ...

Spina bifida, also known as myelomeningocele, occurs when spinal tissue fails to fuse properly during the early stages of pregnancy. The birth defect can lead to a range of lifelong cognitive, ...
