Spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans as well as animals represents an incurable CNS disorder until now. There are many of ischemic as well as traumatic animal models of spinal cord injury which serve as an important tool for therapeutic strategies testing. Many recent studies have shown that the pigs but mainly minipigs look very promising as a large animal model for SCI pathology process study and healing interventions. Due to the economical and ethical issues as well as anatomical proportions the pigs but mainly minipigs will be constantly exploited in neurosciences.
