spinal cord injuries & nerve regeneration

The proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitors continue throughout the lifetime, instead of cell division stopping at the postnatal period. In the spinal cord, these cells differentiate into different kinds of glial cells. Based on his current research in spinal cord injury (SCI), the author Qun L reported that the implantation of functional electrical stimulation (FES) in the motor cortex or the peripheral nerve increases cell birth and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells in the spinal cord. FES promotes remyelination and neural repair.
