Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most serious conditions of the central nervous system, causing motor and sensory deficits that lead to a significant impairment in the quality of life. Previous studies have indicated that inosine can promote regeneration after SCI. Here we investigated the effects of inosine on the behavioral and morphological recovery after a compressive injury.
