| Vaccination following spinal cord injury: Innovative approach limits paralysis |
15 August 2001 - Weizmann Institute of Science
Weizmann Institute scientists propose an innovative approach for preventing complete paralysis after partial spinal cord injury. The approach consists of boosting the body's natural immune mechanisms to improve the outcome of trauma.

That therapy is aimed at repairing the spinal cord after a complete injury. The new approach pursues a related but different therapeutic target: to limit degeneration after a partial spinal cord injury. The scientists report their latest results in the August 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. |
