Ultrashortwave radiation promotes the recovery of spinal cord injury by inhibiting inflammation via suppression of the MK2/TNF‑α pathway.

abstract：:Biochemical modification of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins can alter the function in overlying cells. We tested the hypothesis that metal-catalyzed oxidation of native ECM and individual matrix proteins modulates the activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in cultured rat mesangial cells (RMC). Oxidize...
