Selective inhibition of ASIC1a confers functional and morphological neuroprotection following traumatic spinal cord injury
2016-12-07
Abstract excerpt
Tissue loss after spinal trauma is biphasic, with initial mechanical/haemorrhagic damage at the time of impact being followed by gradual secondary expansion into adjacent, previously unaffected tissue. Limiting the extent of this secondary expansion of tissue damage has the potential to preserve greater residual spinal cord function in patients. The acute tissue hypoxia resulting from spinal cord injury (SCI) acti...
