Overview

Wolfram Tetzlaff is affiliated with the University of British Columbia in Canada. Their research primarily falls within the field of Medicine, with a focus on subfields including Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Physiology, Surgery, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Molecular Biology.

The scientist's work concentrates on several key topics:

  • Spinal Cord Injury Research
  • Diet and metabolism studies
  • Neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms
  • Nerve injury and regeneration
  • Nerve Injury and Rehabilitation
  • Adipose Tissue and Metabolism
  • Mitochondrial Function and Pathology

Among the recent published papers, some notable examples include:

  • Niacin-mediated rejuvenation of macrophage/microglia enhances remyelination of the aging central nervous system (2020, Acta Neuropathologica)
  • Diversity of Reactive Astrogliosis in CNS Pathology: Heterogeneity or Plasticity? (2021, Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience)
  • Transplantation of Skin Precursor-Derived Schwann Cells Yields Better Locomotor Outcomes and Reduces Bladder Pathology in Rats with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury (2020, Stem Cell Reports)
  • Promoting FAIR Data Through Community-driven Agile Design: the Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Injury (odc-sci.org) (2021, Neuroinformatics)
  • Ketogenesis controls mitochondrial gene expression and rescues mitochondrial bioenergetics after cervical spinal cord injury in rats (2021, Scientific Reports)

Frequent collaborators in their research include Oscar Seira, Kathleen Kolehmainen, Jie Liu, Nima Alaeiilkhchi, and Robin J.M. Franklin.

Tetzlaff has published repeatedly in journals such as the Journal of Neurotrauma, Acta Neuropathologica, Neural Regeneration Research, Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, and Stem Cell Reports.
