Researchers at UCSD have identified the existing drug Thiorphan as a potential treatment to regenerate nerve cells in the spinal cord, showing promising results in animal models and human neuron studies, which could lead to new therapies for paralysis in the future.
Researchers identified thiorphan as a promising drug to promote neural regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord injury by using a bioinformatics-driven pipeline, in vitro and in vivo testing, and validation in primate and human neurons, showing its potential for clinical translation.
Researchers at the University of Zurich have demonstrated that stem cell transplantation can reverse stroke damage by regenerating neurons and restoring motor functions in mice, paving the way for potential human therapies.
Scientists discovered that inhibiting the overactive enzyme LRRK2 in mice with a Parkinson's-related mutation can restore damaged brain cells, regrow cellular antennae called cilia, and improve dopamine signaling, suggesting a potential approach to reverse early Parkinson’s damage.
