Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fast-progressing neurodegenerative disease with an average survival time of three ...

A recent study published in the journal Engineering delves into the application of tissue engineering in spinal cord injury (SCI) repair, presenting a comprehensive review of the latest research and ...

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 ...

Implementation of tissue bridges measured within the first weeks after spinal cord injury are linked with short-and-long-term clinical improvement, according to research from The Lancet Neurology ...

As a result, the study was able to provide convincing evidence that tissue bridges in the spinal cord are associated with short- and long-term clinical improvements, underscoring the broad ...
