Mice engineered without the Nogo-66 Receptor (NgR) grew new nerve fibers after spinal cord injury, pointing to this receptor as a target for development of a drug to promote fiber recovery, according ...

Injury to the spinal cord triggers a cascade of biological events that unfold within seconds and that proceed for months or even years. The events affect three major bodily systems: the nervous system ...

The regeneration of damaged neurons has been the ultimate goal for a large portion of neuroscience research. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that control neuronal growth is key to developing ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Dogs with spinal cord injuries may soon benefit from an experimental drug being tested by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, and Texas A&M College of ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...
