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 ...

Researchers show how damaged tissue is reshaped to trigger painful bone formation in muscles and tendons CHINA, ...

Autophagy is indispensable for maintaining hepatocyte integrity, metabolic homeostasis, and survival. While several autophagy ...

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. In mouse experiments, scientists introduced ...

Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes.

Pain is something most people experience after an injury, whether from a sprained ankle, surgery or car accident. Normally pain fades as the body heals. But it may last longer in women than in men, ...

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 ...

Anoxic brain injury, also called anoxic encephalopathy or hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, is a life threatening condition resulting from a complete lack of oxygen to the brain. Anoxic brain injury (ABI ...

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny ...

Imaging shows regeneration of sensory axons four weeks after a spinal cord injury in an adult mouse injected with PDGF-BB at the lesion site. COLUMBUS, Ohio – Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny ...
