A rare subtype of neuron from transplanted stem cells can reconnect spinal motor circuits and activate leg muscles after injury, offering new insight for spinal cord repair strategies, according to a ...

Two Northeastern University researchers want to make life better for people who've experienced serious physical trauma, the ...

UCLA researchers have found that specific molecular changes in mice may actually provide protective effects instead of causing harm.

A type of eye injury that caused blindness and was previously believed to be irreversible has been cured in human trials using stem cells. The cornea is the the outer layer of the eye that focuses ...

Unveiling a cellular mechanism by which muscle stem cells repair damage, researchers spark hope for remedying muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications. A team of scientists from ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains one of the most devastating medical conditions, severely impacting quality of life and often leading to permanent disability. The central nervous system (CNS) has a ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don’t often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery. Vision ...

A research team at UC Davis Health in Sacramento has completed what the institution calls the world’s first treatment combining open fetal surgery with a stem-cell–seeded patch to repair spina bifida ...
