Latest Research Summaries

KEY FINDING: FMT significantly improved motor function recovery in SCI mice compared to those treated with antibiotics alone, as shown by BMS scoring, inclined plane test, and footprint analysis.

KEY FINDING: Biomaterial scaffolds can be used for drug delivery, cell load, and tissue engineering to facilitate the repair of SCIs, while acting as a scaffold and microenvironment for tissue growth with reduced inflammatory responses.

KEY FINDING: EA treatment significantly improved behavioral scores and hind-limb locomotion in rats with SCI at 7, 14, and 28 days post-injury.

KEY FINDING: X-SCID rats exhibited significantly higher retention of transplanted NPCs compared to both Wistar and RNU rats, indicating that both T and B cells play crucial roles in the rejection of xenografted human NPCs.

KEY FINDING: The expert panel identified three clusters of priorities: engaging with all levels of government to support accessible housing efforts.

KEY FINDING: Four main themes were identified: healthcare provider toolkit content and categories, healthcare provider toolkit end product, collaborations between groups and institutions, and infrastructure.

KEY FINDING: The modified PVCR technique resulted in a significant improvement in kyphosis angle (KA) from 129.5° to 43.7° postoperatively.

KEY FINDING: Ependymal cilia are significantly reduced in syringomyelia, with altered morphology, and cell junctions between ependymal cells are loose and broken.

KEY FINDING: China and the United States are the leading countries in research on glial cells and neuropathic pain, with the University of California system being the top institution.

KEY FINDING: Promising results have been reported for patients with subacute SCI, especially in studies involving MSCs, such as those conducted with Stemirac, although no universally recognized breakthroughs have been achieved.
