title: Post-traumatic inflammation following spinal cord injury.
abstract: Inflammatory reaction following a spinal cord injury (SCI) contributes substantially to secondary effects, with both beneficial and devastating effects. This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the structural features (vascular, cellular, and biochemical events) of SCI and gives an overview of the regulation of post-traumatic inflammation.
