Neuroregen Scaffolding Applications in Medulla Spinalis Injuries
Journal Title: Artuklu International Journal of Health Sciences - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The medulla spinalis is a central nervous system formation that communicates sensory and motor information between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. In spinal cord injuries, this communication is disrupted, and the patient may experience loss of sensory and motor function. For the repair of the spinal cord after injury, remyelination of axons and regrowth of tracts are required in the trauma area. Scaffolds direct the regeneration of axons and accelerate the repair process of neurons. Collagens are frequently used in scaffolding studies due to their natural structure that supports cell adhesion and functions. Animal and human studies show that collagen-based neuroregen scaffolds provide significant sensory and motor gains. Such gains are promising in spinal cord injuries, one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In this review, we aimed to examine medulla spinalis injuries, their mechanism, and post-injury neuroregenerative scaffold applications.
