Biodegradable scaffolds promote tissue remodeling and functional improvement in non-human primates with acute spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Isabel Laura Vollenweider

Tissue loss significantly reduces the potential for functional recovery after spinal cord injury. We previously showed that implantation of porous scaffolds composed of a biodegradable and biocompatible block copolymer of Poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid and P ...

Lack of additive role of ageing in nigrostriatal neurodegeneration triggered by alpha-synuclein overexpression

Grégoire Courtine, Isabel Laura Vollenweider, Laetitia Danielle Philippine Baud

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons as well as the presence of proteinaceous inclusions named Lewy bodies. alpha synuclein (alpha-syn) is a major constituent o ...

Muscle Spindle Feedback Directs Locomotor Recovery and Circuit Reorganization after Spinal Cord Injury

Grégoire Courtine, Isabel Laura Vollenweider

Spinal cord injuries alter motor function by disconnecting neural circuits above and below the lesion, rendering sensory inputs a primary source of direct external drive to neuronal networks caudal to the injury. Here, we studied mice lacking functional mu ...

Restoring Voluntary Control of Locomotion after Paralyzing Spinal Cord Injury

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler, Rubia van den Brand, Quentin Barraud, Kay Alexander Bartholdi, Simone Ellen Joze Duis, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Isabel Laura Vollenweider, Pavel Musienko

Half of human spinal cord injuries lead to chronic paralysis. Here, we introduce an electrochemical neuroprosthesis and a robotic postural interface designed to encourage supraspinally-mediated movements in rats with paralyzing lesions. Despite the interru ...
