An ependymal cell quest : identification and functional role of spinal cord neural stem cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Few injuries have as profound and long-lasting consequences as spinal cord injury. The primary areas of impaired function typically include sensation, mobility, bladder, bowel and sexual function.

Mechanical Environment Afforded by Engineered Hydrogel Critically Regulates Survival of Neural Stem Cells Transplanted in the Injured Spinal Cord via Piezo1‐Mediated Mechanotransduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neural stem cell transplantation shows promise for spinal cord repair, but poor graft survival limits therapeutic efficacy. This study demonstrates that increasing hydrogel stiffness from 10% to 16% concentration significantly enhances transplanted neural stem cell survival through Piezo1‐mediated mechanotransduction, revealing mechanical properties as

Exciting innovations for the spinally injured [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Spinal injury can be devastating, resulting, as it often does, in some paralysis and loss of sensation. Engineering plays an important role in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

Nanomedicine for treating spinal cord injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Spinal cord injury results in significant mortality and morbidity, lifestyle changes, and difficult rehabilitation. Treatment of spinal cord injury is challenging because the spinal cord is both complex to treat acutely and difficult to regenerate ...

3D MRI Tract‐Specific Spinal Cord Lesion Pattern Improves Prediction of Distinct Neurological Recovery

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology
Objective To distinguish lateralized motor‐ and sensory‐tract damage after acute spinal cord injury (SCI) and explore its predictive power for motor and sensory recovery. Methods Thirty‐five SCI patients (two female) from a multi‐center data set (placebo‐

NDST3‐Induced Epigenetic Reprogramming Reverses Neurodegeneration in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
NDST3‐mediated epigenetic reprogramming revitalizes neuronal circuits in the substantia nigra and striatum to halt dopaminergic neuron degeneration and restore motor function in Parkinson's disease models. This strategy promotes neuronal maintenance and functional recovery, highlighting NDST3's therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative disorders ...

Neuroprotection and its molecular mechanism following spinal cord injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Acute spinal cord injury initiates a complex cascade of molecular events termed 'secondary injury', which leads to progressive degeneration ranging from early neuronal apoptosis at the lesion site to delayed degeneration of intact white matter tracts ...

Iron Overload Mediates the Differential Cell Fate of Astrocytes from Neurons and Its Regulatory Mechanisms in Ischemic Stroke

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon ischemia/reperfusion‐induced iron overload condition, neurons and astrocytes exhibit similar oxidative stress changes but opposite alterations in endogenous antioxidant defense mechanisms, leading to divergent ferroptotic outcomes. The iron deposition and neuronal loss are increased within the perilesional cortex of stroke patients ...

Doing it Well: Education to Promote Satisfaction with Sexual Intimacy for People with Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Physical and psychosocial effects of a spinal cord injury may lead to concerns and difficulty with sexual satisfaction, exploration, and arousal as well as diminished confidence with participation in intimate relationships (Craig Hospital, 2012). Current

Single‐Cell Dissection of the Biological Function and Molecular Features Underlying the Micropeptide LSMEM1 in Kidney

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
LSMEM1, an evolutionarily conserved micropeptide with extreme hydrophobicity (aliphatic index═113) and dynamic amphiphilicity (GRAVY═0.017), features a strong α‐helical transmembrane anchor (residues 64‐86). Single‐cell analysis reveals its critical role in renal lipid homeostasis.
