Biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle were analyzed to determine if increased energy demand of contraction, as indirectly reflected by myofibrillar Ca 2+ adenosine triphosphate activity (qATPase), contributes to greater fatigue in affected muscle of spinal cord injured (SCI) patients. The qATPase

## Abstract Cycling exercise attenuates atrophy in hindlimb muscles and causes changes in spinal cord properties after spinal cord injury in rats. We hypothesized that exercising soleus muscle expresses genes that are potentially beneficial to the injured spinal cord. Rats underwent spinal cord inj
## Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating and complex clinical condition involving proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide toxicity that produces a predictable pattern of progressive injury entailing neuronal loss, axonal destruction, and demyelination at the site of impact. The invo
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
