Human stem cells may provide new scalable source of replacement cells for spinal cord injury

Posted on: August 08, 2018 Categorized in: Research
Researchers from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have successfully created spinal cord neural stems (NSCs) from puripotent stem cells (hPSCs) that differentiate into a diverse population of cells capable of dispering throighout the spinal cord and…

Paralyzed mice with spinal cord injury made to walk again

Posted on: July 23, 2018 Categorized in: Research
Most people with spinal cord injury are paralyzed from the injury site down, even when the cord isn’t completely severed. Why don’t the spared portions of the spinal cord keep working? Researchers now provide insight into why these nerve pathways…
