Second International Spinal Cord Repair Meeting, Barcelona, Spain
16 July 2013 - 16 July 2013
Spain
The Second International Spinal Cord Repair Meeting will be held from 26 to 27 April 2013 in Barcelona, Spain.
A spinal cord injury usually happens because of a sudden severe blow to the spine. Often this is the result of a car accident, fall, gunshot, or sporting accident. Sometimes the spinal cord is damaged by infection or spinal stenosis, or by a birth defect, such as spina bifida. Unfortunately, there's no way to reverse damage to the spinal cord. Researchers are continually working on new treatments, including prostheses and medications that may promote nerve cell regeneration or improve the function of the nerves that remain after a spinal cord injury.
The conference will be covering cell therapy with stem cells or olfactory ensheathing glia, immunomodulation and glial scar regulation, nanomaterials and scaffolds. It will be an opportunity for doctors, researchers and specialists in the field of spinal cord injury to exchange on the latest research developments.For further information, please visit:
