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.
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.
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.
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2024 • November 23, 2024
This case report describes a rare instance of spinal schwannoma presenting with intraspinal hematoma in a 53-year-old female. The patient experienced sudden lower limb pain, necessitating emergency su...
KEY FINDING: The patient presented with a T12 schwannoma accompanied by an intratumoral hematoma, experiencing sudden and unbearable pain in the lower limbs.
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.
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.
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).
Journal of Patient-Reported Outcomes, 2024 • November 22, 2024
The study aimed to translate and adapt the Sexual Interest and Satisfaction Scale (SIS) into Nepali (SIS-NP) for individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The translation process involved forward tra...
KEY FINDING: The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process led to clarifications and definitions being added to the original questions to suit the Nepali context.
J. Clin. Med., 2024 • November 22, 2024
This study investigated the relationship between sarcopenic obesity and ADL in individuals with chronic SCI, revealing that decreased SMI and increased %BF were independently associated with reduced A...
KEY FINDING: Participants with sarcopenic obesity had significantly lower FIM motor scores than those without the condition (54 vs. 69 points, p = 0.006).
Cureus, 2024 • November 22, 2024
This systematic review assessed the efficacy of neuromodulation, interventional, and unconventional treatments for CRPS, focusing on pain reduction and secondary outcomes. The review identified 23 art...
KEY FINDING: Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) stimulation and Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) demonstrated statistically significant pain reduction.
