This paper shows spinal cord injury causes hematopoietic stem cells to enter a repressed state due to glucocorticoid surges, leading to long-term hematopoietic failure, which can be reversed by early glucocorticoid receptor blockade.

This study shows that a mature human immune system in humanized mice, developed over 3-4 months, leads to worse spinal cord injury outcomes due to increased neuroinflammation.

This study shows that microglia reduce lesion size and improve recovery after spinal cord injury in mice by promoting astroglial encapsulation and limiting inflammation.
