Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms ...

A series of converging advances in bio-implant technology, from brain-spine interfaces to lab-grown spinal tissue, is ...

Researchers report that a spinal fluid test can be 100 percent accurate in identifying patients with significant memory loss who are on their way to developing Alzheimer's disease. Although there has ...

Organoids developed from human stem cells modeled spinal cord injuries, providing a powerful in vitro tool to evaluate ...

THURSDAY, April 3, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental blood test might be able to help doctors predict whether someone will recover their mobility following a spinal cord injury. The test looks ...

Complex 3D structures of cells called organoids could be used to test treatments for spinal-cord damage that can lead to ...

High levels of a certain enzyme in the fluid around a person’s brain and spinal cord could be a sign that they have Parkinson’s disease – potentially enabling the condition to be diagnosed earlier.

In a petri dish at Northwestern University, researchers grow organoids modeled on the human spinal cord: simplified, lab-made ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

PITTSBURGH -- Talk about a spine-tingling sensation. At a recent Engineering Tissue Growth International Conference and Exposition, a spinal cord researcher shared exciting preliminary findings from ...

Among the many difficult features of Alzheimer’s is that doctors can never really say with certainty which patients who show signs of memory loss will go on to develop the neurodegenerative disorder.
