Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between neurons is disrupted, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury ...

By fine tuning the motion of molecules, scientists created an injectable therapy that encouraged the growth of neurites and neurons in damaged spinal organoids.

Organoids have transformed biomedical research by giving scientists miniature versions of human organs to study in the lab.

Regional Medical Center offers spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain through Ryan Sankovic, MD, the first physician to bring the therapy to the region.  Dr. Sankovic specializes in physical ...

Zebrafish have genetic characteristics that make it possible to rebuild neural networks after severe injuries.

For those living with chronic pain, an advanced therapy called Spinal Cord Stimulation may offer life-changing results and a renewed quality of life. Ryan Sankovic, M.D., is a double board-certified ...

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) refers to spinal cord compression from arthritis in the neck and is the leading cause of spinal cord dysfunction in older adults. CSM is a chronic, progressive ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Human spinal cord organoids have been used to model different types of spinal cord injuries and test a promising new regenerative therapy.

Organoids developed from human stem cells modeled spinal cord injuries, providing a powerful in vitro tool to evaluate ...

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered a surprising repair system in the spinal cord that could open new doors for treating paralysis, stroke, and diseases like multiple sclerosis. They found that ...

Three patients are suing Nura Pain Clinic saying they were severely injured after doctors placed spinal cord stimulators.
