Although there are over 400,000 people each year in the United States alone who suffer from traumatic injury to the central nervous system (CNS), no phar macological treatment is currently available.

An acute haemorrhagic phase immediately ensues after wounding, in which haematogenous cells flood the lesion site. This is followed by a subacute period during which macrophages clear necrotic debris, glial cell reactions are mobilised, the clot becomes organised, and scarring is initiated. Finally, the scar tissue contracts during a consolidation phase .
