Nano-engineered polymers in drug delivery: Potential approaches for attenuation of secondary injury after spinal cord trauma
… of pathophysiological events after the primary spinal cord trauma and even after its implantation treatment for neural functional recovery. These secondary injuries include an up-regulation of glial cells associated reactive oxygen species, nitrogen species, and reactive astrogliosis, and they …

hepatocyte growth factor inhibits glial scar formation and
… axons following CNS injuries such as spinal cord trauma. Glial scars also produce various species of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) that act as a potent inhibitor of axon growth. Thus, inhibition of glial scar formation and/or suppression of CSPGs production may support …

Role of BCL-XL in cell death after spinal cord injury
Long term functional impairment after rat spinal cord injury (SCI) results from secondary apoptosis regulated in part, by SCI-induced decreases in protein levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL. In this dissertation, I assessed the role that Bcl-xL subcellular re-routing and post-translational …
