A Step Forward In Understanding Tissue Damage After Spinal Cord Injury

Source: Journal of Clinical Investigation
Date: July 30, 2007

Summary:

New research shows that calcium-activated cation channels in capillaries surrounding spinal cord tissue are critical to the process that causes spinal cord tissue loss after acute cord injury, and as such are a potential target in the therapy of spinal cord injuries.
