Abstract

Significance: In this study, we used gene expression analyses to unveil mechanisms underlying NT3-chitosan–induced spinal cord regeneration. Using a powerful bioinformatics tool known as weighted gene coexpression network analysis, we have established gene modules and programs representing various events at different times after spinal cord injury (SCI) and also demonstrated that enhanced new neurogenesis and vascularization, as well as reduced inflammatory responses, are keys to conferring the effect of NT3-chitosan on regeneration. The objectivity of this approach and the use of big data processing have opened a new pathway in SCI research. Such quantitative, objective, and sensitive measures could provide a standardized approach in the future to reveal mechanistic insight into various potential interventions for SCI repair.

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.
