Abstract:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the severe central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Although various therapeutic approaches have been researched, there are still no effective therapeutic measures for SCI. Development of novel, safe and effective therapeutics for SCI have currently gained a lot of interest. Medicinal and chemical agents have the tendency of regulating signaling pathways. Notch signaling pathway plays an important role in neuronal cell differentiation, neuroinflammation and axonal regeneration in the wake of SCI. Resveratrol has been reported to exert neuroprotective effects in CNS conditions. Resveratrol can inhibit Notch signaling pathway to curtail SCI. Herein, we systematically review potential mechanisms of resveratrol-inhibiting Notch signaling pathway in SCI treatment.

Notch Signaling Pathway
The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not...

Sensory Information Processing
Sensory information processing begins at the sensory receptors located in the skin and other tissues, which detect somatic sensory stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain. These receptors function as catalysts, initiating...

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
