Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI). It refers to the shearing of the brain’s long connecting nerve fibers, or axons. DAI can occur during a motor vehicle accident ...

This rare genetic disorder may affect fewer than 100 people worldwide. You may experience difficulty walking or numbness in your arms and legs at first, but it can develop into more serious symptoms.

Hydrogel scaffolds can be used to guide mesenchymal stem cells derived from gingival tissue to develop into pro-regenerative cells, repairing peripheral nerve injury with the same effectiveness as an ...

That’s because the Schwann cells responsible for regeneration stop providing support after about three months. If the restoration of nerve function, called reinnervation, hasn’t happened in that time, ...

Mild hypothermia has been shown to exert apparent neuroprotective effects in animal models of diffuse axonal injury. However, the clinical efficacy of mild hypothermia is controversial. Thus, a ...

Each year, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), millions of people in the U.S. are affected by spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries, along with neuro-developmental and ...

Each year in the United States there are more than 3 million cases of peripheral neuropathy, wherein nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord are damaged and cause pain and loss of feeling in the ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that targeting a specific immune process ...

Injured axons in the central nervous system are incapable of meaningful regeneration. This is best illustrated by the significant lack of recovery following a spinal cord injury. In contrast, the ...

The NEUROFUSE Study is an ongoing 48-week Multicenter, Randomized, evaluator-blinded, Phase 2a study in upper extremity nerve transections comparing NTX-001 adjunctive to standard of care (SOC) to SOC ...
