| Research Abstract |
It is very important to deliver the neurotrophins with safety and effectively. Our results suggest that targeted retrograde AdV-BDNF-gene in vivo delivery may enhance neuronal and oligodendroglial survival sustained mechanical compression spinal cord injury. The suppression of apoptosis may one of the mechanism of these positive results. The method is a potentially suitable approach for the delivery of therapeutic genes important to promote the survival of neurons and oligodendroglia after traumatic spinal cord injury.
