Extracellular histones, a new class of inhibitory molecules of CNS axonal regeneration

The paper identifies extracellular histones as new inhibitors of CNS axonal regeneration, showing they induce growth cone collapse and can be reversed by activated protein C.

Proteomic portraits reveal evolutionarily conserved and divergent responses to spinal cord injury

The paper identifies protein biomarkers for spinal cord injury severity and recovery using proteomic analysis of human and porcine samples, showing high predictive accuracy.

Cardio-centric hemodynamic management improves spinal cord oxygenation and mitigates hemorrhage in acute spinal cord injury

This study shows that cardio-centric hemodynamic management with dobutamine improves spinal cord oxygenation and reduces hemorrhage in acute spinal cord injury compared to vasopressors.
