Core Tip This study highlights the pivotal role of the long noncoding RNA X inactive specific transcript as a metabolic-epigenetic regulator in spinal cord injury. By stabilizing carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A messenger RNA through insulin like growth factor 2 messenger RNA binding protein 2, it enhances fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, promoting neural stem cell differentiation and functional recovery. The proposed framework integrates mitochondrial metabolism, lineage regulation, and regenerative strategies, providing a conceptual bridge from molecular mechanisms to translational medicine.
