Long thought of as passive bystanders, glial cells are coming under increasing ... neuropathic pain, epilepsy, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury.

and glial cells - the cells which hold nerve cells in place so they can do their jobs. Each man was over the age of 60 and had suffered a spinal cord injury two to four weeks before the stem cell ...

show for the first time that cells derived from human cord blood can achieve neuronal and glial features in vitro (J Cell Sci 20 Buzanska et al. used cord blood cell subfractionation and isolated a ...

called a glial cell, with humans. If an axolotl hurts its spinal cord, its glial cells go to work to repair the nerve damage and fix the injury. The same cells in humans work to form scar tissue ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ... to a limited extent, glial cells during embryonic and postnatal ...

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny ...

Tumors from glial cells are often aggressive. They can start in the brain or the spinal cord, then rapidly form finger-like projections, spread, and destroy the surrounding healthy brain tissues.

In a world first, doctors have used induced pluripotent stem cells to treat a spinal cord injury, Keio University announced on Jan. 14, offering hope for paralyzed patients. A team of ...
