Their cross-species examination of primate and rodent spinal cords revealed new insights into the behaviors of ependymal and astrocyte cells following SCI, highlighting their dynamic roles in ...

A new study reveals that while ependymal cells in the spinal cord show minimal repair potential, astrocytes can transdifferentiate into oligodendrocytes, aiding in remyelination. Researchers also ...

ABSTRACT: One serious lesion to the central nervous system is spinal cord injury (SCI). Due to its intricate pathophysiological mechanisms and the irreparability of nerve cells, conventional ...

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that causes compression of the spinal cord and/or nerve roots. Resulting pain and numbness (in the hands, arms, legs, and/or feet) can vary depending ...

Astrocytes are the largest and most prevalent type of glial cell in the central nervous system. Astrocytes contribute to formation of the blood–brain barrier, participate in the maintenance of ...

Recovery from spinal stenosis surgery can vary based on what type of procedure was performed and the number of vertebrae operated on. Activity restrictions will be put in place during the initial ...
