Abstract:
The integrity of the neuronal membrane is important for its specific physiological function.Spinal cord injury (SCI) can result in immediate disruption of neuronal membranes.Now,a novel treatment method for SCI is sealing the compromised membranes at the early stage of SCI.In this article,recent development of membrane repair agents in treating SCI is discussed,including polyethylene glycol(PEG),poloxamer 188(P188),chitosan and some nanomaterials.At the same time,problems remained in recent researches are reviewed and the prospect is discussed.
