Ohio State researchers restore immune function in spinal injured mice

In a new study, researchers at the Center for Brain and Spinal Cord Repair at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center show that is possible to restore immune function in spinal injured mice. People with spinal cord injury often are immune compromised, which makes them more susceptible to infections. Why these people become immune-suppressed is not known, but the Ohio State study found that a disorder called autonomic dysreflexia can cause immune suppression.
