Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains one of the most devastating conditions among neurological diseases due to its pathologic consequences. It is estimated that this lesion affects about 330,000 European people as trauma from an incident (for example, a motor vehicle accident or a sport injury), or by violence such as gunshot wound, or because of medical treatments or diseases such as polio and split spine (http://www.eurostemcell.org). SCI effects can be classified as “primary injury” including the interruption of ascending and descending pathways due to a contusive, compressive, or stretch injury of the spinal cord, and as “secondary injury” that is related to posttraumatic degeneration of the tissue and leading to severe motor or sensory disabilities, often accompanied by paralysis of the arms or legs.
