World-renowned experts share the latest updates in translational
research as well as surgical and nonsurgical strategies for
treating spinal cord injury Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a
devastating, clinically challenging injury, leading to varying
degrees of neurological function impairment and paralysis.
Underlying biological mechanisms either inhibit or promote new
growth in the spinal cord. Researchers have been making important
discoveries about how neurons and their axons grow in the central
nervous system and why they fail to regenerate after SCI. Although
progress has been steady, there remains an urgent need to address
issues in acute management such as early decompression and the use
of biologics, as well as potential solutions for regeneration.
