Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how spinal cord injuries (SCI) can be really bad for healing and how fucoidan, a natural extract from marine plants, might help fix some of those problems.
- Researchers tested fucoidan on mice with SCI and found it helps reduce inflammation, supports nerve cell survival, and encourages the growth of cells that repair the damage.
- The findings suggest that fucoidan can help the healing process after spinal cord injuries by creating a better environment for recovery and encouraging the repair of protective nerve coverings.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) represents a complex pathology within the central nervous system (CNS), leading to severe sensory and motor impairments. It activates various signaling pathways, notably the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Present treatment approaches primarily focus on symptomatic relief, lacking efficacy in addressing the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

Suspended solids, as wastewater contaminants, may contain components such as nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals and pathogens that are harmful to the environment and human health, it is essential to know the size distribution regularity of the solids with a view to guiding the management of freshwater resources for sustainability. Particle size distribution (PSD) mathematical models and properties of suspended solids in a typical freshwater pond were investigated in this study.
