Spinal Cord Injury and Substance-P

January 24, 2009 – 2:06 pm

I have featured Dr. Matt Ramer  and his research on Spinal Cord Injury. The focus was sensory and autonomic neuron repair.
As an update, I would like to share a publication that references SCI and our Substance-P antibody. Here Dr. Paul Dolber et al. found Substance P detected immunohistochemically in the sacral parasympathetic nucleus was significantly [...]

Dr. Matthew Ramer, Neural Regeneration and SCI

October 16, 2008 – 9:42 am

I dream of the day that people suffering from spinal cord injuries (SCIs) will be restored to full function. The good news is there are researchers and dedicated centers that form the back-bone of SCI repair research.
I am excited and honored to be featuring Dr. Matthew Ramer for this month’s backstory. Matt is a member of ICORD (International Collaboration On [...]

Spinal Cord Injury and Ependymal Cells

July 31, 2008 – 8:07 pm

This research sheds light on the natural regeneration that occurs in the area of damaged spinal cord tissue. The surprise here is the role that Edendymal Progenitor Cells are playing in repair mechanism vs Neural Stem Progenitors. 
In this publication, researchers have employed genetic fate mapping to characterize a candidate neural stem cell population in the adult spinal cord [...]
