‘Chance Finding’ a True Breakthrough for Spinal Cord Injury?
Pauline Anderson December 13, 2024 0132 Added to Email Alert Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) improves walking and promotes recovery in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), new research showed. This intervention excites glutamatergic neurons in the LH, which appear to be key to restoring movement. The results represent a shift...

Immune system discovery could benefit spinal cord injuries
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SYSTEM New research suggests that the immune system’s ability to respond to spinal cord injuries diminishes with age – and identifies potential avenues to improve that response and help patients heal. The new findings offer important insights into how the immune system responds to spinal-cord injuries, and why that response becomes blunted with the passing...

Novel injection repairs severe spinal cord injuries in mice
Credit: CC0 Public Domain A brighter future could be in store for people with a spinal cord injury if new animal research pans out in humans. Mice that were paralyzed due to severe spinal cord damage regained the ability to walk within four weeks of receiving an experimental injectable therapy, say researchers led by Samuel...
