Content

Central nervous system injury leads to the disruption of neural network causing neurological deficits. These deficits are spontaneously recovered because the neuronal cells can contribute to tissue repair. In this project, we focus on the role of the cardiovascular system in the repair process after central nervous system injury. The results obtained will aid to develop novel therapeutic strategy for the central nervous system disorders.
