Southern California Stem Cell Seminar Series
Spinal Cord Plasticity, Breathing After Injury
Michael Lane's Research Focus:
Our research team is investigating the effects of cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and how recovery can be optimized. A primary focus of this work on the functional consequences of cervical SCI (in particular how breathing and upper extremity [arm] function is impaired) and what potential there is for progressive, spontaneous functional recovery—or functional "plasticity." We are also developing and testing strategies for promoting beneficial plasticity and recovery following cervical SCI.
