Neuronal and Glial Apoptosis after Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
The hypothesis that apoptosis dependent on active protein synthesis contributes to the neuronal and glial cell death, as well as to the neurological dysfunction, induced by mild-to-moderate severity traumatic insults to the rat spinal cord is supported.
