Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2025 • December 30, 2024
This study evaluated the efficacy of long-term NLX-112 intervention starting from two weeks post-T8 contusive SCI for an additional six weeks. Our results indicate that NLX-112 treatment significantly...
KEY FINDING: NLX-112 treatment significantly improves locomotion in a dose-dependent fashion, suggesting a direct relationship between the amount of drug and the improvement in walking ability.
Antibody Therapeutics, 2025 • December 16, 2024
This research describes the creation and characterization of humanized anti-CD11d monoclonal antibodies as potential therapeutics for inflammatory conditions. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated...
KEY FINDING: The researchers successfully developed and characterized five humanized anti-CD11d monoclonal antibodies.
Materials Today Bio, 2025 • January 7, 2025
The study developed an injectable hydrogel (OPDL gel) for treating spinal cord injuries and providing wound care. The hydrogel encapsulates dexamethasone (Dex) and responds to reactive oxygen species ...
KEY FINDING: The OPDL gel demonstrated excellent injectability and self-healing properties, allowing its precise application at the site of spinal cord injury by using a syringe for effective care delivery.
Acta Neurochirurgica, 2025 • January 24, 2025
This study provides a bibliometric analysis of the application of methylprednisolone in spinal cord injury research over the past 50 years. Collaboration between different academic groups in the field...
KEY FINDING: A total of 1,651 articles were identified, and publication numbers showed a consistent annual increase.
J. Clin. Med., 2025 • January 29, 2025
This review explores updated guidelines and current evidence regarding MAP management and the use of vasopressors in SCI, focusing on their impact on spinal cord perfusion and neurologic outcomes. Rec...
KEY FINDING: Updated guidelines suggest a broader MAP target range of 75–80 mmHg as the lower limit and 90–95 mmHg as the upper limit for 3–7 days of treatment post-SCI.
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2025 • January 29, 2025
This study investigates the mechanisms of zinc ion treatment in SCI, focusing on its effects on inflammation, cell polarization, and apoptosis, using transcriptomic analysis and in vitro/in vivo studi...
KEY FINDING: Zinc ions modulate inflammatory pathways through IKBα, which inhibits NF-κB activity, reducing inflammation and cell death in SCI mouse model.
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 • August 16, 2023
This review summarizes the progress of lipid nanovesicles for targeted treatment of SCI, discusses their advantages and challenges, and provides a perspective on their application. Most lipid nanovesi...
KEY FINDING: Lipid nanovesicles, including liposomes and extracellular vesicles, can be modified to enhance their ability to target specific cells and tissues in the spinal cord.
Acta Neurochirurgica, 2025 • March 3, 2025
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the neuroprotective effects of metformin in rodent models of SCI. It included 23 studies with 1,567 animals. The study demonstrated that metformin en...
KEY FINDING: Metformin significantly enhances locomotor function after SCI in rodent models. It also improves mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, indicating pain alleviation.
bioRxiv, 2025 • February 25, 2025
This study challenges the traditional understanding of noradrenergic modulation of spinal nociceptive transmission by demonstrating that targeted blockade of spinal α2 receptors can promote anti-nocic...
KEY FINDING: Targeted blockade of spinal α2 adrenoceptors can reduce spinal nociceptive transmission in vivo.
Biomedicines, 2025 • February 3, 2025
This study investigated the effects of teriparatide (TPTD) and alendronate (ALN) on bone loss and motor function recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. The rats were divided into four groups...
KEY FINDING: TPTD significantly increased bone mineral density and other key bone indicators after SCI in rats, while ALN did not show significant improvement in these areas.
