• Mashup Score: 7

    Electrical stimulation of surviving nerves of the upper spinal cord damaged by severe injury can improve motor control of the upper limb and allow individuals with limited arm function to partially regain lost movement, report University of Pittsburgh researchers. The first round of pre-clinical experimental data was published in Nature Neuroscience today.

  • Mashup Score: 1

    Reliable and robust peripheral nerve regeneration after a nerve injury and repair remains an elusive goal. A variety of strategies have been proposed to mitigate the effects of Wallerian degeneration (through molecular therapies), enhance axonal regeneration across the repair site (through electrical stimulation and gene therapy), and explore alternatives to suture coaptation (through the fusion…
