| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody, has been proposed as treatment for gliomas and radiation necrosis in the neurological field. In our study using spinal cord injury (SCI) mice, bevacizumab has been shown to alleviate focal inflammation and edema due to suppressed vascular hyper-permeability in the acute phase of secondary injury, leading to improvement of neurological function. Our results indicate that bevacizumab may become a promising drug for alleviating SCI.
