Identification of a novel role for central nervous system-resident progenitors in the patterning of the vascular network around the developing spinal cord.
Genetic analyses combining photoconvertible cell signalling reporters with gain- and loss-of function manipulations reveal a novel role for Notch signalling in controlling Hedgehog response in neural progenitor cells.
Retrograde transport of NT-3 stimulated the reorganization of lumbar neural circuitry and synaptic connectivity remote to a thoracic SCI, along with improved behavioral recovery.
Precisely-timed bursts of closed-loop vagus nerve stimulation during rehabilitation restore neural connectivity and substantially improve recovery of motor function after SCI.
High-frequency stimulation of the upper thoracic spinal cord corrects anticipatory postural adjustments and improving gait efficiency and inhibiting freezing of gait episodes in advanced Parkinson's disease.
Building on previous work (Rodrigo Albors et al., 2015), we assess the contribution of individual cellular mechanisms in the context of spinal cord regeneration in the axolotl.
Gene expression asymmetries in fetal spinal cord are triggered by epigenetic mechanisms suggesting that handedness has a spinal instead of a cortical origin.
