Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) represents a genetically heterogeneous group of retinal dystrophies affecting mainly the rod photoreceptors and in some instances also the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)… Expand
Complete rat spinal cord transection as a faithful model of spinal cord injury for translational cell transplantation
- D. Lukovic, V. Moreno-Manzano, +6 authors S. Erceg
- Medicine
- Scientific reports
- 10 April 2015
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in neural loss and consequently motor and sensory impairment below the injury. There are currently no effective therapies for the treatment of traumatic SCI in… Expand
Interfacial behavior of recombinant forms of human pulmonary surfactant protein SP-C.
