Background and Objectives: Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been proposed as a potential therapy for spinal cord injury (SCI). We aimed to demonstrate that 810 nm light can penetrate deep into the body and promote neuronal regeneration and functional recovery. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Adult r

## Abstract Many therapeutic interventions using neurotrophic factors or pharmacological agents have focused on secondary degeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) to reduce damaged areas and promote axonal regeneration and functional recovery. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which was identified
Great interest exists in using cell replacement strategies to repair the damaged central nervous system. Previous studies have shown that grafting rat fetal spinal cord into neonate or adult animals after spinal cord injury leads to improved anatomic growth/plasticity and functional recovery. It is
## Abstract We compared the neurological and electrophysiological outcome, glial reactivity, and spared spinal cord connectivity promoted by acute transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (group OEC) or Schwann cells (group SC) after a mild injury to the rat spinal cord. Animals were subjecte
## Abstract The neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has neuroprotective properties after ischemic and excitatory insults to the brain. In the developing embryo, it is produced in discrete regions of the central nervous system (CNS), where it specifically promotes axonal growth of differentia
## Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces a glial response in which astrocytes become activated and produce inflammatory mediators. The molecular basis for regulation of glialβinnate immune responses remains poorly understood. Here, we examined the activation of retinoic acidβinducible gene (RIG
