Researchers have uncovered a surprising new role for netrin1, a crucial protein in neural development, as a regulator that limits bone morphogenetic protein signaling in the developing spinal cord.

Severance Hospital invited and treated a Filipino patient with 'meningeal spinal cord' that occurs in less than 1 in 1,000 ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have discovered how one antioxidant protein controls the activity of another protein, critical for the development of spinal cord neurons. The ...

Chicago-based Amphix Bio has raised $12.5 million in seed funding to advance its experimental paralysis-reversing drug toward ...

When a vertebrate embryo develops, a group of cells self-organizes into the neural tube, eventually becoming the brain and the spinal cord. This involves specific signals, but how these signals are ...

Netrin1 is a protein that was first characterized for its axon guidance activities during embryonic development. The netrin family has been shown to play many critical roles in developmental and ...

The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord, and produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system, ...

Fenofibrate, an FDA-approved drug used to reduce cholesterol levels, causes sensory neurons in the spine following spinal cord injury to regrow twice as fast as with a placebo treatment. The results ...

Scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have uncovered an unexpected role for the molecule netrin1 in organizing the developing spinal ...
