Description
Summary:Over recent decades, SCI research has advanced in understanding its pathophysiology and related mechanisms. Researchers developed many rodent SCI models to mimic injury processes, which are crucial for evaluating therapies and understanding pathology. But choosing the right model for specific research is challenging due to distinct pathological changes. This review overviews SCI pathophysiology and examines rodent models. It emphasizes model - related challenges, application value, simulation degrees, and replication of pathologies. It also discusses model advantages and limitations, and references recent reverse-engineering projects, which provide a brand-new perspective for promoting SCI research.
