Article Synopsis
- The blood-spinal cord barrier is crucial for recovery after spinal cord injuries, yet its impact on neurovascular units is often overlooked in research.
- In experiments using mouse models, administration of platelet-derived growth factor reduced neuronal damage, improved locomotor function, and enhanced collagen synthesis while limiting harmful astrocyte proliferation and autophagy-related apoptosis.
- In vitro studies revealed that platelet-derived growth factor positively affects endothelial cells related to the blood-spinal cord barrier by reducing autophagy, and its benefits can be negated by using an autophagy inhibitor prior to injury.
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI), one of the most common concerns following trauma, can result in a significant loss of sensory or motor function. Restoration of the injured nerves requires a complex cellular and molecular response to rebuild the functional axons so that they can accurately connect with their original targets. However, there is no optimized therapy for complete recovery after PNI.

This study analyzed the values of δC and δN by the application of stable isotope technique from the marine mammals (Phoca largha, Neophocaena asiaorientalis sunameri, Balaenoptera acutorostrata) and major biological species in Dalian marine area based on the animals collected due to stranding and death after bycatch from January, 2008 to June, 2017, and the fisheries resources investigation between autumn, 2016 and spring, 2017 in the same area. The trophic level was then calculated in order to establish the continuous trophic spectrum of the food web in Dalian marine area. The results showed that the value of δN ranged from 8.
