Bone marrow cell transplants help nerve regeneration
A study carried out by researchers at the Kyoto University School of Medicine and published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (Vol.16 No. 8) has shown that when transplanted bone marrow cells (BMCs) containing adult stem cells are protected by a 15mm silicon tube and nourished with... view more (2007-12-05)

Protein in human hair shows promise for regenerating nerves
A protein found in human hair shows promise for promoting the regeneration of nerve tissue and could lead to a new treatment option when nerves are cut or crushed from trauma.   view more (2008-01-11)

Forsyth scientists discover early key to regeneration
Science may be one step closer to understanding how a limb can be grown or a spinal cord can be repaired. Scientists at The Forsyth Institute have discovered that some cells have to die for regeneration to occur.   view more (2006-12-13)

UCSF study finds nerve regeneration is possible in spinal cord injuries
A team of scientists at UCSF has made a critical discovery that may help in the development of techniques to promote functional recovery after a spinal cord injury.   view more (2005-12-02)

Nerves controlling muscles are best repaired with similar nerves
When repairing severed or damaged motor nerves with a donor nerve graft, surgeons have traditionally used a sensory nerve from another area of the patient's body. However, these patients often do not fully regain function in the injured area.   view more (2007-05-14)

Early signs that adult bone-marrow stem cells could regenerate brain tissue (p 1432)
Findings of a preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that transplanted adult bone-marrow cells could regenerate nerve cells in the brains of human stem-cell recipients. These early findings, if confirmed in future research, have implications for the treatment of... view more (2004-04-28)

Role for microRNAs in limb regeneration
In the March 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Kenneth Poss (Duke University Medical Center) and colleagues reveal that microRNA depletion is a necessary step in tissue regeneration - a discovery with interesting implications for their use in regenerative medicine.   view more (2008-03-17)

Microsurgery on the brain of the fruit fly leads to new insights into irreparable nerve injuries
Every year, one million Europeans are confronted with potentially irreparable brain or spinal cord injuries resulting from traffic accidents.   view more (2008-06-04)

Severed nerves can be made to grow again
IT IS being hailed as one of the most significant advances in nerve regeneration in a decade. After severing an optic nerve in rats, neurologists have found a way to reconnect it to the brain so that it once again transmits normal electrical signals.... view more (2001-12-05)

Neurotransmitters in biopolymers stimulate nerve regeneration
Research reported December 11 in the journal Advanced Materials describes a potentially promising strategy for encouraging the regeneration of damaged central nervous system cells known as neurons.   view more (2007-12-12)

Novel stem cell technology leads to better spinal cord repair
Researchers believe they have identified a new way, using an advance in stem-cell technology, to promote recovery after spinal cord injury of rats, according to a study published in today's Journal of Biology.   view more (2006-04-28)

USC researchers identify mechanism that controls activation of stem cells during hair regeneration
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel cyclic signaling in the dermis that coordinates stem cell activity and regulates regeneration in large populations of hairs in animal models.   view more (2008-01-17)

The secret of internal bliss revealed
Scientists now know for sure how cannabis works in the brain. By studying naturally occuring cannabinoids they have found that cannabis 'speaks' to nerve cells instructing them to stop releasing their chemical neurotransmitters so dumbing down their effects. The upside is that it makes cannabis... view more (2001-04-03)

Researchers find molecule that inhibits regrowth of spinal nerve cells
A molecule that helps the body's motor nerve cells grow along proper paths during embryonic development also plays a major role in inhibiting spinal-cord neurons from regenerating after injury, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.   view more (2005-07-12)

Post brain injury: New nerve cells originate from neural stem cells
Most cells in the human brain are not nerve cells, but supporting cells (glial cells). They serve as a framework for nerve cells and play an important role in the wound reaction that occurs with injuries to the brain.   view more (2008-03-12)

Myelin suppresses plasticity in the mature brain
Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Science this week genetic evidence for the hypothesis that myelination, or formation of a protective sheath around a nerve fiber, consolidates neural circuitry by suppressing plasticity in the mature brain.   view more (2005-09-30)

Proof-Of-Principle Data For Nerve Repair Programme Presented At The 10th International Symposium On Neural Regeneration
Oxford BioMedica announced today that interim preclinical data from the InnurexTM nerve repair programme are being presented by Prof. Malcolm Maden of King's College London at the 10th International Symposium on Neural Regeneration which is being held at the Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific... view more (2003-12-15)

Diabetes Slows Nerve Recovery After Heart Transplant
Diabetes has a detrimental effect on a person's ability to recover from a heart transplant, notes a study in the September Journal of Nuclear Medicine.   view more (2006-09-06)

The development of stem cells -- not only which and where but also WHEN
Yet another stride has been taken on the road to knowledge about the development of the nervous system. For the first time factors have been uncovered that decide when a cell is to develop into another cell. During the last ten years much progress has been made in finding out what determines how... view more (2003-03-20)

3 proteins may play important role in nerve-cell repair
Some mature brain cells can grow new extensions when the amount of three particular proteins on their surface increases, a new study shows.   view more (2007-04-12)

Researchers Discover New Factor in Nerve Regeneration
Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Human Anatomy have identified a factor involved in the regeneration of neurons in the central nervous system. The discovery and use of this factor could provide the basis for a reparative treatment for both brain and spinal cord injuries. Unlike... view more (2003-04-07)

Gene therapy delivery of nerve growth factors reverses erectile dysfunction in animal model
Rats with erectile dysfunction, or ED, that were injected with a gene therapy vector containing either of two nerve growth factors were able to regain normal function after four weeks.   view more (2007-06-04)

Forsyth scientists gain new understanding of adult stem cell regulation
Forsyth Institute scientists have discovered an important mechanism for controlling the behavior of adult stem cells. Research with the flatworm, planaria, found a novel role for the proteins involved in cell-to-cell communication.   view more (2007-08-01)

Hopes of a New Treatment Approach for Paralysis
Scientists at the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg) were recently able to show in experiments with mice that a paralysis can be reversed by blocking programmed cell death. Paralysis in the form of paraplegia and quadriplegia is usually the result of... view more (2004-03-15)
