The effects of myelin on macrophage activation are phenotypic specific via cPLA2 in the context of spinal cord injury inflammation

Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) produces chronic, pro-inflammatory macrophage activation that impairs recovery. The mechanisms driving this chronic inflammation are not well understood. Here, we detail the effects of myelin debris on macrophage physiology and demonstrate a novel, activation state-...
