Steroid Effects on Glial Cells: Detrimental or Protective for Spinal Cord Function?

Repair of damage and recovery of function are fundamental endeavors for recuperation of patients and experimental animals with spinal cord injury. Steroid hormones, such as progesterone (PROG), show regenerative and myelinating properties following injury of the peripheral and central nervous system...
