SS-31 after spinal injury: separating tissue and behavioral endpoints

A mouse spinal-contusion model was paired with oxidatively stressed PC12 cells to examine movement, tissue injury and mitochondrial markers.

Preclinical studyPaper year: 2026Elamipretide (SS-31)

01 / DESIGN

What was studied?

A mouse spinal-contusion model was paired with oxidatively stressed PC12 cells to examine movement, tissue injury and mitochondrial markers.

02 / FINDINGS

What did the researchers report?

The study reported better locomotor measures and selected signs of neuronal preservation, alongside reduced apoptotic signaling and altered remodeling markers.

03 / LIMITS

How should it be interpreted?

Mechanistic associations do not establish which pathway is necessary for recovery. A traumatic mouse-injury model does not demonstrate human neurological efficacy.
