In this narrative review we aimed to assess the usefulness of the different animal models in
identifying injury mechanisms and develo** therapies for humans suffering from spinal …

Delayed treatment protocols may extend the window of opportunity for treatment of spinal
cord injury, whereas continued progress in the prevention of secondary cell death will …

Freeze-drying of polylactide solutions in 1, 4-dioxane has been studied as a way to produce
microcellular foams. The thermally induced phase separation has been studied in relation to …

This paper describes a modification of a balloon-compression technique to produce spinal
cord injury in adult rats. A 2-French Fogarty catheter is inserted into the dorsal epidural …

Background The use of early decompression in the management of acute spinal cord injury
(SCI) remains contentious despite many pre-clinical studies demonstrating benefits and a …

Macrophages (monocytes/microglia) could play a critical role in central nervous system
repair. We have previously found a synchronism between the regression of spontaneous …

Cultured Schwann cells were transplanted at various delays into a spinal cord contusion
injury performed at low thoracic level in adult female rats. The Schwann cells were purified …

There is currently a lack of effective ways to achieve functional tissue repair of the
chronically injured spinal cord. We investigated the potential of NeuroGel™, a biocompatible …

Spontaneous cellular reorganisation at the lesion site has been investigated following
massive spinal cord compression injury in adult rats. By 2 days post operation (po) …

Study design: Review. Objectives: To highlight the value of investigating the effects of
putative therapeutic interventions in clinical spinal cord injury (SCI) in domestic dogs …
