Scientists have recapitulated in the laboratory how the cellular structures that give rise to our spinal column form sequentially. They have created a 3D in vitro model that mimics how the precursor ...

Scientists have officially grown a notochord—the tissues that act as the “GPS for the developing embryo” by guiding the formation of the spine and nervous system. Previous attempts to create a ...

A groundbreaking human trial has begun that could transform life for people with spinal cord injuries. The project, developed over three decades, uses a unique cell-based approach that scientists hope ...

INDIANAPOLIS – The first human clinical trial of a new treatment for spinal cord injuries was recently announced by the Purdue School of Veterinary Medicine and the Indiana University School of ...

(CN) — Researchers engineered and implanted functional human spinal cord tissues that showed success in treating paralysis in lab models. The study, published Monday in the journal Advanced Science, ...
