  2. 1. Spinal cord repair strategies

    Author : Henrich Cheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Spinal cord; injury; paraplegia; repair; regeneration; nerve graft; fibrin glue; aFGF; GDNF; gait; axonal tracing Henrich Cheng; 1996;

    Abstract : Regeneration of long fiber tracts does not occur spontaneously in the adult mammalian brain or spinal cord. The present work is an attempt to develop a repair strategy that may overcome this lack of recovery and apply it to spinal cord injury. READ MORE

  4. 2. Spinal cord injury : mechanical and molecular aspects

    Author : Anna Josephson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Spinal cord; syringomyelia; MRI; fMRI; neurotrophin; Nogo; Nogo receptor; regulation;

    Abstract : Traumatic spinal cord injury leads to full or partial paralysis and loss of sensation below the level of injury. The annual incidence of spinal cord injury in the United States is 3-5 per 100,000 and in Sweden is 1.5-2 per 100,000. This translates to 11,000 new cases of traumatic spinal cord injury in the US and 150 in Sweden each year. READ MORE

  5. 3. Trophic factors, neuroprotection and spinal cord repair

    Author : Johan Widenfalk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : spinal cord injury; GDNF; GFRalpha; neurotrophin; VEGF; olfactory ensheathing glia; weight-drop injury; in situ hybridization;

    Abstract : Background: There is no cure for paralysis. The only drug therapy presently in use, acute high-dose methylprednisolone, has only modest effects on outcome. There is therefore a great need for new therapies. READ MORE

  6. 4. A regeneration strategy for spinal cord injury

    Author : Jonathan Nordblom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A severe traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently leads to a devastating and permanent disability. Due to glial scarring and an inhibitory local environment, regrowth of disrupted axons in the injured spinal cord beyond a lesion is obstructed, thus preventing reconnection with neurons at the other side.
