Midkine Overexpression Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury by Enhancing Microglial Efferocytosis Via LRP-1. [PDF]
Midkine (MDK) promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury by enhancing microglial efferocytosis, reducing neuroinflammation, and decreasing neuronal apoptosis. Overexpression of MDK activates the AKT/mTOR pathway, upregulates LRP‐1 and BDNF, and drives microglia toward an anti‐inflammatory phenotype.
