A ‘volume control’ for pain

News
HSCI scientists identify a potential target for treating neuropathic pain Why do people with neuropathic pain feel pain from minor touches and other normally harmless stimuli? Setting out to answer this question, Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI)...

Drug 'cocktail' could restore vision in optic nerve injury

News
Despite scar tissue (blue), axons were able to regenerate (white) after axon injury. HSCI researchers show axons form functional synaptic connections with their target, but unexpectedly, exhibit conduction defect due to lack of myelination. Combining...

Healing spinal cord injuries without scars

News
HSCI researchers find that spinal cord repair relies on specialized cells After spinal cord injury, the resulting scar tissue prevents nerve cells from reconnecting and hinders recovery. A new study by HSCI researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital has...
