Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny ...
Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which ...
Learn how lab-grown brains could help scientists reawaken nerve regeneration.
A tiny clump of lab-grown human brain cells, no bigger than a lentil, sent nerve fibers into a slice of spinal cord tissue ...

Cambridge researchers used lab-grown human brain and spinal cord tissues to uncover a hidden mechanism that blocks nerve repair. By reversing that biological brake, they restored the ability of ...
Spinal cord injuries cause permanent paralysis in part because inflammation, cell death, and glial scarring block nerve regeneration, and there has been no reliable human tissue model to test ...
For generations, paralysis from a damaged spinal cord has been seen as permanent. Once the nerves were injured, the signals carrying movement from the brain to the body were lost forever. But ...
After a spinal-cord injury, adult nerve cells do something frustrating: they hunker down and survive, but they refuse to ...
