The mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway may play a noxious role in spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury by participating in inflammatory reactions and cytokine production. Targeting this pathway may be of potential value in terms of therapeutic intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
