Overview

Jerry Silver was affiliated with Case Western Reserve University in the United States. Their research primarily focused on neuroscience, medicine, and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Within these broad fields, they contributed extensively to cellular and molecular neuroscience, cell biology, pathology and forensic medicine, developmental neuroscience, and surgery.

Their work centered on topics including nerve injury and regeneration, spinal cord injury research, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans research, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms, autophagy in disease and therapy, calpain protease function and regulation, and nerve injury and rehabilitation.

Jerry Silver authored multiple research papers published between 2020 and 2023. Recent notable papers included:

  • New insights into glial scar formation after spinal cord injury (2021), published in Cell and Tissue Research
  • Regulation of autophagy by inhibitory CSPG interactions with receptor PTPσ and its impact on plasticity and regeneration after spinal cord injury (2020), published in Experimental Neurology
  • A meta-analysis of functional outcomes in rat sciatic nerve injury models (2021), published in Microsurgery
  • An adult-stage transcriptional program for survival of serotonergic connectivity (2022), published in Cell Reports
  • Recovery of Forearm and Fine Digit Function After Chronic Spinal Cord Injury by Simultaneous Blockade of Inhibitory Matrix Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Production and the Receptor PTPσ (2023), published in Journal of Neurotrauma

Jerry Silver frequently collaborated with several coauthors, including Philippa M. Warren, Majid Rezaei, Antonio Rampazzo, Bahar Bassiri Gharb, and Vahe Fahradyan.

Their research was published in various scientific venues, with multiple publications appearing in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) and Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Global Open. Other venues included Cell and Tissue Research, Experimental Neurology, and Microsurgery.
