Progranulin deficiency exacerbates spinal cord injury by promoting neuroinflammation and cell apoptosis in mice

Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in significant and catastrophic dysfunction and disability and imposes a huge economic burden on society. This study aimed to determine whether progranulin (PGRN) plays a role in the progressive damage following SCI and evaluate the potential for development of a PGRN derivative as a new therapeutic target in SCI.
