By fine tuning the motion of molecules, scientists created an injectable therapy that encouraged the growth of neurites and ...

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 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 ...

A new therapy that first made headlines in 2021 is now showing potential to heal human cartilage. Developed by scientists at Northwestern University, the technique was initially created to repair ...

Northwestern University researchers developed injectable "dancing molecules" that cross the blood-brain barrier to repair ...

Discover the groundbreaking research on organoid models for spinal cord injury, promising new therapies for paralysis recovery.

A new human spinal cord organoid model replicates key injury responses, such as inflammation, cell loss, and scar formation.

Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human spinal ...
