Degenerative and regenerative mechanisms governing spinal cord injury
Open accessAbstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of disability, and at present, there is no universally accepted treatment. The functional decline following SCI is contributed to both direct mechanical injury and secondary pathophysiological mechanisms that are induced by the initial trauma. These mechanisms initially involve widespread haemorrhage at the site of injury and necrosis of central nervous system (CNS) cellular components. At later stages of injury, the cord is observed to display reactive gliosis. The actions of astrocytes as well as numerous other cells in this response create an environment that is highly nonpermissive to axonal regrowth. Also manifesting important effects is the immune system. The early recruitment of neutrophils and at later stages, macrophages to the site of insult cause exacerbation of injury. However, at more chronic stages, macrophages and recruited T helper cells may potentially be helpful by providing trophic support for neuronal and non-neuronal components of the injured CNS. Within this sea of injurious mechanisms, the oligodendrocytes appear to be highly vulnerable. At chronic stages of SCI, a large number of oligodendrocytes undergo apoptosis at sites that are distant to the vicinity of primary injury. This leads to denudement of axons and deterioration of their conductive abilities, which adds significantly to functional decline. By indulging into the molecular mechanisms that cause oligodendrocyte apoptosis and identifying potential targets for therapeutic intervention, the prevention of this apoptotic wave will be of tremendous value to individuals living with SCI.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
