Stem Cell Therapy and Curcumin May Have Synergistic Effects on Spinal Cord Injury:
After a spinal cord injury, the injured cord is flooded with copious amounts of inflammatory messengers called cytokines. This rush of pro-inflammatory cells has been shown to cause something called Gliosis, which is essentially the proliferation and build-up of cells that compose the spinal cord. This excessive cellular production has been shown to cause scarring … Continue reading Stem Cell Therapy and Curcumin May Have Synergistic Effects on Spinal Cord Injury:
