Finding a Cure for Spinal Cord Injury: LIMS On-Demand

摘要

Traumatic injury to the central nervous system (CNS) usually results in irreversible loss of function. Consequently, individuals with injured spinal cords can be permanently paralyzed. This function loss occurs because of the death of nerve cells and their support cells as well as the severing of very long processes that transmit electrical signals from one nerve cell to others. Transected CNS axons do not re-grow or reestablish connections with their targets. An on-demand LIMS solution is ideal for scientists undertaking high volumes of screening and for academics in the translational science community confronted with the generation of large quantities of data. High-content screening is uncovering covering signaling pathways, genes, compounds or drugs that can be used to promote nerve growth. The screening pipeline includes solid experimental techniques combined with instrumentation and analytical tools. The process produces enormous amounts of data.
