A series of converging advances in bio-implant technology, from brain-spine interfaces to lab-grown spinal tissue, is bringing the long-elusive goal of spinal cord repair closer to clinical reality.

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of their limbs, but also the ability to receive sensory feedback from them.

Researchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have created a 3D-printed implant designed to deliver electrical stimulation to damaged regions of the spinal cord, offering a promising ...

Wichita State University's Li Yao is taking a special approach to the study of spinal cord injuries through research that uses an electrical signal to repair tissue damage. When a person suffers ...

A research team at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has developed a new implant that conveys electrical signals and may have the potential to encourage nerve cell (neuron) repair after ...
