CNS fibroblasts form a fibrotic scar in response to immune cell infiltration

Cayce E. Dorrier et al.

Summary: Fibrotic scarring in the CNS is identified to arise from proliferative CNS fibroblasts in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mouse model, with involvement of interferon-gamma pathway genes. Reduction of scarring can lead to decreased severity of motor symptoms.

For Better or for Worse: A Look Into Neutrophils in Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

Sandra Zivkovic et al.

Summary: Neutrophils are crucial components of the innate immune system, playing a key role in defense against infections and tissue injuries by recognizing and neutralizing pathogens. They are proficient in various immune response mechanisms, such as phagocytosis, granule release, and formation of NETs. In the pathologic changes in injured spinal cord, neutrophils play a significant role.
