X-ray Irradiation Inhibits Inflammation and Glial Scar Formation through p38 MAPK and Akt Signaling Pathways and Promotes the Recovery of Nerve Function after Spinal Cord Injury in Rats
Abstract:Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common clinical disease that can cause permanent disruption of nerve function. Inflammation and glial scar formation influence the recovery of injured spinal cord. X-ray irradiation can reduce inflammation, inhibit cell proliferation and increase cell apoptosis. However, the regulatory effects of X-ray irradiation on inflammation and glial scars and the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. This study aimed to explore the effect of X-ray irradiation on the progression… Show more
