🧠 New paper by Wimalasena, Pandarinath, AuYong et al: #spinal #interneuron populations form a low-dimensional #manifold that robustly organizes step cycles.

Distinct regions of the manifold mark flexion–extension transitions, and a specific “hold region” tightly controls cycle duration. Deletions emerge as failures to enter the flexor region, giving a dynamical signature of disrupted CPG function.

Scientists turn body fat into bone to heal spinal fractures

Researchers in Osaka have found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair spinal fractures similar to those caused by osteoporosis. By turning these cells into bone-forming clusters and pairing them with a bone-rebuilding material, rats regained stronger, healthier spines. The approach could offer a safe, minimally invasive alternative for treating bone diseases in humans.

One of the reasons #SCI results in permanent #disability is that the #neurons that form our #brain and #spinal cord cannot effectively regenerate. Encouraging neurons to regenerate with drugs offers a promising possibility for treating these severe injuries.

The #cancer is called pediatric diffuse midline #glioma. As its name suggests, the #malignancy arises along the midline of the #brain or #spinal cord and infiltrates surrounding tissue in a way that makes it impossible to remove with surgery.
