Latest Research Summaries

KEY FINDING: Ang-(1–7) significantly induced M2 microglia polarization by 1.8-fold (p < 0.0001), effectively reducing inflammation.

KEY FINDING: Only natural velocity during the 20-m wheelchair propulsion test (i.e., fundamental wheelchair ability) changed following the intervention (p = 0.01, effect size = 0.82, relative variation = +14.5%).

KEY FINDING: DREZ microcoagulation resulted in short-term (12 days) and long-term (1+ year) pain relief for participants with SCI below-level neuropathic pain, especially when lesioning both cephalad and caudal to the injury.

KEY FINDING: The combined therapy resulted in a reduced glial response and a 70% improvement in behavioral motor recovery.

KEY FINDING: Intracellular iron levels are significantly different between iPSCs and SCPCs, allowing MRR to distinguish between the two cell types based on T2 values.

KEY FINDING: Nrf2 and NFATC2 levels were reduced in PC12 cells after OGD/R treatment.

KEY FINDING: ASIC1A is upregulated in NSCs following spinal cord injury.

KEY FINDING: Workforce and education are critical areas, underscoring the importance of specialized training, certification, and ongoing support to build capacity in SCI rehabilitation services.

KEY FINDING: scTS + RT intervention resulted in an average effect size that was twice as large as RT alone.

KEY FINDING: The co-design process led to the development of four personalized mobility programs: cognitive cardio class, functional strength class, mobility circuit group, and an open gym.
