Catch the Replay: 2022-2023 IDSC Fellows’ Final Project Presentations

On Thursday, April 27, 2023, from 3:00-4:30 PM, an audience gathered via Zoom and in person at the Richter Library 3^rd floor conference room to hear the 2022-2023 IDSC Fellows give their final research project presentations. A Biomedical Engineering student (Jeffery Serville), Civil Engineering student (Sadegh Tale Masoule), and two Marine Science students (one graduate—Kelly Soluri and one undergraduate—Shara Sookhoo) thanked their mentors, supporters, and collaborating researchers. We invite you to watch the full session on YouTube. Here are some takeaways: Read more “Catch the Replay: 2022-2023 IDSC Fellows’ Final Project Presentations” →

Implanted Device Turns Thoughts Into Motions

When German Aldana Zuniga was 16 years old, doctors told him he would never be able to walk or use his arms properly again. But Zuniga never gave up on the idea. Today, nine years after a car accident left him paralyzed, Zuniga is making significant strides. Read more “Implanted Device Turns Thoughts Into Motions” →

FAIR SCI Ahead: The Evolution of the Open Data…

Over the last 5 years, multiple stakeholders in the field of spinal cord injury (SCI) research have initiated efforts to promote publications standards and enable sharing of experimental data. In 2016, the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke hosted representatives from the SCI community to streamline these efforts and Read more “FAIR SCI Ahead: The Evolution of the Open Data Commons for Pre-Clinical Spinal Cord Injury Research” →

PP4-Dependent HDAC3 Dephosphorylation Discriminates Between Axonal Regenartion and Regenerative…

The molecular mechanisms discriminating between regenerative failure and success remain elusive. While a regeneration-competent peripheral nerve injury mounts a regenerative gene expression response in bipolar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons, a regeneration-incompetent central spinal cord injury does not.

The histological assessment of spinal cord tissue in three dimensions has previously been very time consuming and prone to errors of interpretation. Advances in tissue clearing have significantly improved visualization of fluorescently labelled axons. Read more “3D Imaging of Axons in Transparent Spinal Cords from Rodents & Nonhuman Primates” →

Grants

Researchers to Create World Database for Nervous System Repair

With the ultimate goal of accelerating the discovery of drugs to regenerate or protect nerves after spinal cord injury, UM Miller School researchers have received a $2.5 million grant to develop a novel database via the Center for Computational Science to enable neuroscientists to search the voluminous and growing number of studies related to nervous system repair, and link relevant data from those studies to other resources.
