Funded Activity Summary

This study investigates the process of cell death in the spinal cord following chronic compression using a rat model. Chronic spinal cord compression can occur in common conditions such as 'slipped disc' or disc prolapse, the increased formation of bone around the spinal cord that is more common with age, or from tumours forming around the spinal cord in cancer patients. The distribution, timing and the mechanism by which cells die in the cord after compression will be analysed.
