Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) can temporarily or permanently disrupt critical functions, from sensation to breathing, contributing to substantial patient morbidities that are often lifelong. Researchers ...

The results of newly reported preclinical research indicate that a genetic mutation that helps animals including yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing ...

A breakthrough study appears to overcome difficulties that have long frustrated previous attempts to reverse a form of nerve damage that robs people with MS of motor control and gradually blunts ...

The medtech company will now bring COAPTIUM CONNECT, the first atraumatic peripheral nerve surgical system, to patients in ...

Scientists have identified a genetic mutation that helps protect the brain function of animals that live in high-altitude, low-oxygen environments. This mutation has provided new insights into how ...

Nerve damage can be an unfortunate side effect from an accident, illness or even certain treatments, like chemotherapy. Fortunately, the peripheral nervous system can heal itself to a certain extent, ...

Pictured are neurons in cross section, with the surrounding myelin sheaths in darker shade. Autoimmune responses associated with MS cause the destruction of these sheaths, impairing neuronal function.

Nerve damage from neurodegenerative disease and spinal cord injury has largely been considered irreversible, but Dartmouth researchers report progress in the effort to synthesize rare natural products ...

France's Tissium has raised €60M to bring COAPTIUM CONNECT, the only FDA-cleared sutureless nerve repair system, into US operating rooms.

A recent study published in Cell Death & Disease suggests that specific cellular abnormalities in the brain associated with ...

Depending on where the damaged nerves lead, the disruptions can affect movement, vision, thinking, and so on. Essentially, the research team found a way to unsilence the silenced repair process, ...
