Spinal Cord Injury

While not a disease, spinal cord injury is indeed related to neurodegenerative diseases because cell apoptosis occurs. With SCI, however, it occurs because of trauma. New spinal cord injury research suggests that neuroregeneration may be possible. This research has direct relevance to the neurodegenerative diseases. There are currently between 250,000-400,000 individuals living with spinal cord injury or injury dysfunction, with the average age at injury of 33.4 years.
