Cover Story: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a series of secondary molecular processes and intracellular signalling cascades in immune, vascular, glial, and neuronal cell populations. While these intracellular cascades further damage the injured spinal cord, they also present promising translationally relevant targets for therapeutic intervention. Many therapeutics have aimed to target these pathways to improve recovery after SCI. However, the multifaceted pathogenesis of traumatic SCI requires better elucidation of the underlying secondary intracellular signalling cascades to minimize off-target effects and maximize effectiveness. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the therapeutic potential of secondary intracellular signalling following traumatic SCI. View this paper
