Fluorescence imaging can reveal details of neuronal activity in sections of the spinal cords of animals, but collecting data from living subjects can be challenging. Developments in micro-optics ...

Microscope images of mouse and human spinal cord development at equivalent stages. Grey labels the nuclei of the cells in the embryo. Blue cells correspond to progenitors of the spinal cord; red cells ...

Transmission electron micrograph demonstrating diazoxide-mediated prevention of mitochondrial membrane damage and swelling in rabbit spinal cord after ischemia-reperfusion injury (magnification, ...

To facilitate nerve regrowth, tissue engineers employ biodegradable polymer scaffolds. Shown at left, a micrograph of an actual scaffold used to stimulate spinal cord regeneration in rats. Center, a ...
