Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward treating spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. In lab dishes, researchers at Northwestern University grew tiny organoids of the human spinal cord. Then, ...

Organoids modeled on the structure of the human spinal cord have been shown to match the behavior of an injured spine. Now, a treatment that has worked well in mice has been applied to the organoids, ...
