The pathogenesis of traumatic spinal cord disease involves two mechanisms causing injury to its neuronal apparatus: primary (necrosis) and secondary (apoptosis). This study assesses the involvement of a number of endogenous factors in the development of apoptosis in spinal cord and peripheral nerve trunk trauma; the role of these factors thus far remains unclear.Keywords: spinal cord and peripheral nerve trunk trauma, pathogenetic mechanisms of apoptosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
