Article Synopsis
- There are significant barriers to recovery after spinal cord injuries, particularly in chronic cases, but recent studies show potential for improvement.
- A single injection of chondroitinase ABC into rats with diaphragm paralysis not only restored breathing function but also enhanced the structure of nerve connections.
- Combining this treatment with intermittent hypoxia conditioning improved respiratory response, but in some cases, it led to increased serotonin activity that caused irregular diaphragm function, which could be controlled with specific medications.
