Enhanced Functional Recovery in MRL/MpJ Mice after Spinal Cord Dorsal Hemisection
Adult MRL/MpJ mice have been shown to possess unique regeneration capabilities. They are able to heal an ear-punched hole or an injured heart with normal tissue architecture and without scar formation. Here we present functional and histological evidence for enhanced recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI) in MRL/MpJ mice. A control group (C57BL/6 mice) and MRL/MpJ mice underwent a dorsal h...
متن کاملInfluence of Sexuality in Functional Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury in rats
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major clinical condition and research is commonly done to find suitable treatment options. However, there are some degrees of spontaneous recovery after SCI and gender is said to be a contributing factor in recovery, but this is controversial. This study was done to compare the effects of sexual dimorphism on spontaneous recovery after spinal cord inj...
متن کامل5-Hydroxytryptophan-induced respiratory recovery after cervical spinal cord hemisection in rats.
The present study investigates the role of serotonin in respiratory recovery after spinal cord injury. Experiments were conducted on C(2) spinal cord hemisected, anesthetized, vagotomized, paralyzed, and artificially ventilated rats in which end-tidal CO(2) was monitored and maintained. Before drug administration, the phrenic nerve ipsilateral to hemisection showed no respiratory-related activi...
متن کاملSerotonin(2) receptors mediate respiratory recovery after cervical spinal cord hemisection in adult rats.
The aim of the present study was to specifically investigate the involvement of serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT(2))] receptors in 5-HT-mediated respiratory recovery after cervical hemisection. Experiments were conducted on C(2) spinal cord-hemisected, anesthetized (chloral hydrate, 400 mg/kg ip), vagotomized, pancuronium- paralyzed, and artificially ventilated female Sprague-Dawley rats in...
متن کاملBasophils are dispensable for the recovery of gross locomotion after spinal cord hemisection injury.
Basophils are the smallest population of granulocytes found in the circulation. They have crucial and nonredundant roles in allergic disorders, in protection from parasite infections, in autoimmunity, and in the regulation of type 2 immunity. They share phenotypic and functional properties with mast cells, which exert substantial protective effects after traumatic brain injury and spinal cord i...
