May 20 (UPI) --An existing drug could help limit damage caused by an injury to the spinal cord by blocking the inflammatory response, potentially restoring some movement, researchers said Friday. The ...

Researchers have developed drug-loaded nanoparticles that selectively target the cells responsible for causing damaging inflammation following a spinal cord injury. Given to mice soon after an injury, ...

Scientists have shown an existing drug may reduce damage after spinal cord injury, by blocking the inflammatory response in the spinal cord. Scientists from the University of Birmingham have shown an ...

But, there’s more to scratching than gating in the spinal cord. Deep brain structures stimulated by touch send signals back ...

MS and RA can occur together and share some symptoms. Managing both conditions works best when you coordinate care and ...

Inflammatory demyelinating pseudotumor usually occurs in the brain and rarely occurs in the spinal cord. On imaging, inflammatory demyelinating pseudotumor appears very similar to intramedullary ...

Spinal cord injuries cause severe functional disabilities in those who sustain them, including paraplegia or tetraplegia, depending on the scale of the injury. This is due to the degeneration of the ...

An experimental study from the University of Birmingham has brought the long-awaited hope of a treatment for acute spinal cord injury (SCI) one step closer. The research involved using an existing ...

One of the hallmarks of chronic pain is inflammation, and scientists at the UNC School of Medicine have discovered that anti-inflammatory cells called MRC1 + macrophages are dysfunctional in an animal ...
