Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes structural damage to neural circuits, which in turn leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Transplantation of neural precursor cells/stem cells provides a potential ...

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities research team has combined 3D printing, stem cell biology, and lab-grown tissues to address spinal cord injury recovery. The breakthrough method holds the ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Stem cells possess the unique ability to self-renew and transform into different types of cells. For example, rare ...
