   Sammanfattning : Background: Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a serious complication of cancer leading to demyelination and axonal damage of the spinal cord with a risk of para/tetraplegia. It is most common in patients with known cancer but may also be the initial manifestation of malignancy (IMM). LÄS MER

7. 5. Human neural precursor cells in spinal cord repair

   Författare :Junghua Piao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in substantial neural cell death, axonal degeneration and demyelination, accompanied by loss of sensory and motor functions. Cell therapy may have neuroprotective effects, substitute for lost neural cells, promote regeneration and enhance remyelination in the lesioned spinal cord. LÄS MER
