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, ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a new study, the research team used lab-grown human spinal cord ...

Organoids developed from human stem cells modeled spinal cord injuries, providing a powerful in vitro tool to evaluate ...

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, ...

Evanston, Ill.-based Northwestern University scientists have created the most advanced human spinal cord injury organoid model to date, enabling researchers to test regenerative therapies in lab-grown ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...
