Research Methodology & Design Research

KEY FINDING: The average ratio of males to females with TSCI is decreasing.

KEY FINDING: The modified protocol significantly improves the yield of viable, intact myofibers compared to previous methods, achieving approximately 2300–3100 myofibers from two FDB muscles of a single mouse.

KEY FINDING: Myelotomy and lesion debridement alone did not cause further neural damage compared to SCI alone, but had little positive effect on neural regrowth.

KEY FINDING: The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that, in patients with severe cervical TSCI, bony + dural decompression, compared with bony decompression alone, improves American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) motor score (AMS) at 6 months.

KEY FINDING: Porcine models of SCI are of particular interest due to significant anatomic and physiologic similarities to humans, potentially enabling more accurate evaluation of treatments.

KEY FINDING: USE strain ratios were significantly higher in paralyzed rabbits compared to non-paralyzed rabbits, indicating differences in spinal cord mechanical properties.

KEY FINDING: The correction addresses an error in the acknowledgement of funding sources for genome sequencing.

KEY FINDING: The number of studies on macrophages in SCI has increased, particularly in the United States and China. However, there's a lack of international collaboration.

KEY FINDING: Mainland China and the United States are the leading countries in cell transplantation research for TSCI.

KEY FINDING: The United States contributed the most articles (110), with the University of Toronto being the top institution (34 publications).
