To summarize the available experimental clinical and animal studies for the identification of all CSF and serum-derived biochemical markers in human and rat SCI models. A total of 19,589 articles were ...

Injury to the spinal cord triggers a cascade of biological events that unfold within seconds and that proceed for months or even years. The events affect three major bodily systems: the nervous system ...

“Our results show that targeted spinal cord Dr. Einat Engel-Haber associate research scientist transcutaneous stimulation has a significant impact on blood pressure regulation in individuals with SCI, ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a condition that causes the degeneration of the nerve cells in the nervous system, affecting certain neurons in the spinal cord. ALS is a fatal disease that ...

After a spinal cord injury, nearby cells quickly rush to action, forming protective scar tissue around the damaged area to stabilize and protect it. But over time, too much scarring can prevent nerves ...

New research shows that stimulation of the lumbosacral vertebrae region significantly elevated low blood pressure, unlike cervical or upper thoracic stimulation. Kessler Foundation researchers ...

Kessler Foundation researchers published new findings on neuromodulation in individuals with high-level spinal cord injury (SCI) using spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS). This promising ...
