The association of food insecurity with mental health in preschool-aged children and their parents.

Background: Household food insecurity (HFI) is associated with poor general and mental health. Prior studies assessed parent and child mental health separately and did not assess other social risks.

Objective: To assess the relationship between HFI and both parental and child mental health.

Pharmacologic Recruitment of Endogenous Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells for the Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury.

Study Design: Laboratory study using a rat T9 contusion model of spinal cord injury.

Objective: This study aims to examine whether a combinatory treatment of Pioglitazone (PGZ) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) can support neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) directly and provide a sustainable microenvironment through immunomodulatory mechanisms.

Summary Of Background Data: Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the progression of spinal cord injury (SCI) and hinders NSPC-mediated repair and regeneration.

Keratin Biomaterials Improve Functional Recovery in a Rat Spinal Cord Injury Model.

Study Design: Laboratory study using a rat T9 contusion model of spinal cord injury (SCI).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate which method of delivery of soluble keratin biomaterials would best support functional restoration through the macrophage polarization paradigm.

Summary Of Background Data: SCI is a devastating neurologic event with complex pathophysiological mechanisms that currently has no cure.
