Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that is essential in brain
development and has structural and signaling roles. Acute DHA administration is …

Task-specific rehabilitation has been shown to promote functional recovery after acute
spinal cord injury (SCI). Recently, the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic …

Currently, few interventions have been shown to successfully limit the progression of
secondary damage events associated with the acute phase of spinal cord injury (SCI) …

We have previously shown that the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
significantly improves several histological and behavioral measures after spinal cord injury …

Previous studies have shown that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as α-linolenic
acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are neuroprotective in models of spinal cord injury …

In this study we have characterised the locomotor recovery, and temporal profile of cell loss,
in a novel thoracic compression spinal cord injury (SCI) in the mouse. We have also shown …

Background Two families of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), omega-3 (ω-3) and omega-6
(ω-6), are required for physiological functions. The long chain ω-3 PUFAs, eicosapentaenoic …

Traumatic spinal cord injury has dramatic consequences and a huge social impact. We
propose a new mouse model of spinal trauma that induces a complete paralysis of …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a cause of major neurological disability, and no satisfactory
treatment is currently available. Evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) …

Microglia are activated after spinal cord injury (SCI), but their phagocytic mechanisms and
link to neuroprotection remain incompletely characterized. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) …
