Repairing the Injured Spinal Cord
Abstract
Certain cell, molecular, and bioengineering strategies for repairing the injured spinal cord are showing encouraging results (either alone or in combination) in animal models, with limited recovery of mobility being reported in some cases.

“Until very recently, the main thrust of basic research on restoration of motor functions after spinal cord injuries focused on reconstructing the connectivity and functionality of damaged nerve fibers (Ramon-Cueto et al. 1998; Uchida et al. 2000; Bomze et al. 2001; Bunge 2001; Schwab 2002).”

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.
