Abstract

There are currently no therapies available, which promote structural and functional recovery following spinal cord injury in humans. Several studies have shown that partial structural and functional regeneration can be achieved in animal models of spinal cord injury. Different regenerative strategies can be envisioned depending on the severity of the injury (complete versus incomplete spinal cord injury). The following review summarizes experimental approaches aiming for functional recovery following spinal cord injury and discusses the relevance for potential clinical applications.
