Novel carbon dots with dual Modulatory effects on the bone marrow and spleen as a potential therapeutic candidate for treating spinal cord injury

Bioactive Materials, 2025 • November 24, 2024

This study introduces novel Ejiao carbon dots (EJCDs) designed to regulate the immune system's response to spinal cord injury (SCI) by targeting the bone marrow and spleen. EJCDs promote hematopoietic...

KEY FINDING: EJCDs promote HSC self-renewal and erythroid differentiation in the bone marrow by upregulating FZD4 protein expression in LSK cells.

The Role of Inflammatory Cascade and Reactive Astrogliosis in Glial Scar Formation Post‑spinal Cord Injury

Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 2024 • November 23, 2024

This review briefly describes the role of glial cells in SCI, highlighting their capability of forming scar tissue at the injury site. The development of the injury scar depends on the crosstalk betwe...

KEY FINDING: The disruption of the blood-spinal cord barrier after injury leads to an imbalance in the immunological microenvironment, triggering neuroinflammation.

The Impact of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Functional and Structural Plasticity in Rats With Spinal Cord Injury

Brain and Behavior, 2024 • November 23, 2024

This study reveals that HBOT facilitates functional and structural plasticity in the brain, contributing to the recovery of motor function in rats with SCI. Following SCI, reduced ReHo values were obs...

KEY FINDING: Following SCI, reduced ReHo values were observed in the left primary somatosensory cortex, left striatum, right agranular insular cortex, and partial cortex in the limbic system, which was reversed after HBOT.

Priorities of the Pediatric Spinal Cord Injury Population: An International Study on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

Children, 2024 • November 23, 2024

This international study explored the life and health priorities of pediatric-onset spinal cord injury (SCI) patients and their parents/caregivers (P&C) in Europe. The study identified key differences...

KEY FINDING: Parents/caregivers of younger children (8–12 years) with SCI prioritized “bladder” function, “leg/foot movement”, and “bowel” function.

Mechanism and prospects of mitochondrial transplantation for spinal cord injury treatment

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2024 • November 22, 2024

Spinal cord injury (SCI) involves a continuous and dynamic cascade of complex reactions, with mitochondrial damage and dysfunction-induced energy metabolism disorders playing a central role throughout...

KEY FINDING: Mitochondrial transplantation (MT) reduces neuronal death and promotes axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury by regulating the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy and enhanced mitochondrial bioenergetics following electrical stimulation exercises in spinal cord injury: a randomized clinical trial

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2025 • November 22, 2024

This study aimed to determine whether evoking knee extensor (KE) muscle hypertrophy prior to FES-LEC training would further augment mitochondrial enzymatic activity than simply using FES-LEC only. The...

KEY FINDING: Both interventions demonstrated a time effect on CS (P = 0.001) with interaction between both groups (P = 0.01).
