This review summarizes the current understanding of spinal cord injury pathophysiology and
discusses important emerging regenerative approaches that have been translated into …

Spinal cord injury typically results in permanent disability. Many studies have indicated that
transplantation of several different types of stem cells promotes functional recovery in animal …

Olfactory ensheathing cells show promise in preclinical animal models as a cell
transplantation therapy for repair of the injured spinal cord. This is a report of a clinical trial of …

Despite the immature state of stem cell medicine, patients are seeking and accessing
putative stem cell therapies in an" early market" in which direct-to-consumer advertising via …

Over the past 2 decades, advances in understanding the pathophysiology of spinal cord
injury (SCI) have stimulated the recent emergence of several therapeutic strategies that are …

Spinal cord injury causes devastating loss of function and progressive, potentially life-
threatening, secondary complications. Although significant preclinical advances continue to …

✓ Despite advances in medical and surgical care, the current clinical therapies for spinal
cord injury (SCI) are largely ineffective. During the last 2 decades, the search for new …

Transplantations of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) have been reported to promote
axonal regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord injury, but have demonstrated …

Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing glial cells (OEG) may improve the outcome from
spinal cord injury. Proof-of-principle studies in primates are desirable and the feasibility and …

Contusive spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a complex lesion that includes cellular and
axonal loss, microglia and macrophage activation, and demyelination. These changes result …
