Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...
Spinal neurosurgeon Xiaofei (Sophie) Zhou, MD, is a pioneer within Cleveland-based University Hospitals. She started her 2025 by bringing endoscopic spine tools to the hospital and performed the ...
A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.
In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.
Investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have been awarded a $1.72 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to support the Neuro-Oncology Translational Research ...
