Taxol stabilizes growing nerve cells and reduces the barrier-function of scar tissue
After a spinal cord injury a number of factors impede the regeneration of nerve cells. Two of the most important of these factors are the destabilization of the cytoskeleton and the development of scar tissue. While the former prevents regrowth of cells, the latter creates a barrier for severed nerve cells.
Apps designed for SmartPhones (Blackberry, Iphone, Android) and IPads can help increase independence and improve the quality of life for people who have limited mobility from paralysis. These apps can be powerful tools for people living with a spinal cord injury or using a wheelchair due to another injury or disease. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation have created the Guide to the Best Apps for People Living with Paralysis to help people find those apps that will most enhance their lives.
“"Taking care of people with ABI and understanding their needs is what I enjoy most as a carer. I have been working as a carer for six years for 3 other agencies but I am so glad I changed to Care For You. They really do care for the clients and their carers. For the first time in 6 years I am a valued team member working 35hrs per week and thoroughly enjoying every moment of it.” Abby Care Team Member
