Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in significant neurological deficits, and microglia play the critical role in regulating the immune microenvironment and neurological recovery. Protein lactylation has been found to modulate the function of immune cells. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the effects of glycolysis-derived lactate on microglial function and its potential neuroprotective mechanisms via lactylation after SCI.
