Article Synopsis
  • Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to both immediate and ongoing damage, disrupting important pathways and causing various physical impairments, highlighting the need for effective treatments.
  • The study investigates a combined approach using a Chitosan hydrogel to repair injury sites and dual neuromodulation to enhance motor function in a rat model of cervical SCI.
  • Results show that this combined strategy promotes tissue remodeling and supports the growth of motor axons in the spinal cord, suggesting potential for improved recovery in SCI patients.

Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to severe damage to the microvascular network. The process of spontaneous repair is accompanied by formation of new blood vessels; their functionality, however, presumably very important for functional recovery, has never been clearly established, as most studies so far used fixed tissues. Here, combining ultrafast Doppler imaging and ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) on the same animals, we proceeded at a detailed analysis of structural and functional vascular alterations associated with the establishment of chronic SCI, both at macroscopic and microscopic scales.
