Axon regeneration and central nervous system repair represent critical frontiers in neuroscience research, offering promise for restoring communication and function after injury. Following trauma, ...

The researchers tested whether delaying treatment with cnicin still promoted axon regeneration. They found that delaying treatment by five days meant that motor and sensory recovery was slower, but ...

Each year, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), millions of people in the U.S. are affected by spinal cord ...

Damages to the central nervous system (CNS), for example in the case of spinal cord injury, can result in permanent loss of sensory and motor function. It is because the severed axons are unable to ...

In nerve regeneration, the pace of recovery can often be a race against time, with critical windows dictating successful outcomes. Recent research by Gobrecht et al. has unveiled a promising avenue ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Axon injury is a hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases, often resulting in neuronal cell death and functional impairment. Dual leucine ...

Older Americans are increasingly active, and this lifestyle shift has contributed to the rise in average age of a person experiencing a spinal cord injury. The changing demographic calls for a better ...

The central nervous system (CNS) in adult mammals has limited regeneration capacity, and traumatic injuries to the CNS usually lead to permanent functional impairment.

Traumatic injury to the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve in the central nervous system (CNS) are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. CNS injuries often ...

Currently, spinal cord injury does not have any effective treatments; physical rehabilitation can help patients regain some mobility, but for severe cases the outcomes are extremely limited by the ...
