Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with devastating neurological problems affecting more than 11,000 Americans each year. Although several treatment agents have been proposed and tested, no FDA-approved pharmacotherapy is available for treating SCI. We have recently demonstrated that estrogen (E2) acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, attenuating gliosis in SCI. We have also demonstrated that nanoparticle-mediated focal delivery of E2 to the injured spinal cord decreases lesion size, reactive gliosis, and glial scar formation. The current study tested .
