摘要
Spinal cord injury (SCI), often resulting from car accidents,falls and violence, represents a complicated trauma affecting multiple tissues, such as the vertebrate, disks of the spinal column, or the spinal cord itself. Direct injury to the spinal cord, which is the focus of this insight, may disrupt the neuronal connections between the brain and the periphery,leading to the loss of motor function and paralysis. Consequently, SCI patients suffer neurologic deficits and disability,and are subjected to high healthcare costs for a lifetime.
