New technique preserves major nerves, blood vessels, and other critical structures in a hard-to-access area. In a ...

A team of researchers at Rowan University has developed an injectable biomaterial that could significantly improve recovery ...

Your body's brain and spinal cord are surrounded by three layers of membranes known as the meninges. These protective membranes are vital for providing structural support, cushioning tissue ...

It appears April 4 in Science. The researchers looked at T-regs in the protective layers that encase the brain and spinal cord in mice. Until now, scientists thought these tissue layers, called the ...

That communication begins when a neuron, often near the skin, senses something that could cause pain. The neuron then sends a signal to the spinal cord. The team found that the meninges surrounding ...

The team found that the meninges surrounding the lower part of the spinal cord harbor an abundance of T-regs. To learn what their function was, the researchers knocked the cells out with a toxin.

Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord, usually caused by viral, bacterial, or fungal infections. It can lead to symptoms like ...

Benign Intradural Tumors Meningioma: a tumor that is more common in the brain, but may also affect the dura mater, which is one of the meninges — the linings of the spinal cord. Nerve sheath tumors ...

Your meninges play an important function in your body as part of the brain and spinal cord. What are the meninges? Read on to learn what they do, signs of meninges-related conditions, and more.

Meninges: Meninges are composed of three thin layers—the innermost pia mater, the middle arachnoid mater, and the outermost dura mater. All of these structures—the spinal cord, CSF, and meninges—are ...

These are called vertebrae. Meninges Meninges are membranes that support and protect the brain and the spinal cord. A clear fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) travels in the spaces formed by the ...
