Organoids modeled on the structure of the human spinal cord have been shown to match the behavior of an injured spine. Now, a treatment that has worked well in mice has been applied to the organoids, ...

Organoids have transformed biomedical research by giving scientists miniature versions of human organs to study in the lab.

Scientists have taken a major step toward treating spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. In lab dishes, researchers at Northwestern University grew tiny organoids of the human spinal cord. Then, ...

Spinal cord injuries cause permanent paralysis in part because inflammation, cell death, and glial scarring block nerve regeneration, and there has been no reliable human tissue model to test ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human spinal ...
