Does "bows to no flag" mean "does not obey to authoritative call"?
Context:
Conclusion
As someone who has been involved in disability research for many years, I’m amazed by how many promising, function-restoring therapies are emerging throughout the world for SCI, a disorder once considered so hopeless its cure was called the “Holy Grail” of neurological research. Although none are an all-encompassing “cure,” the dam is slowly, but inevitably, crumbling. It may be only a small therapeutic trickle now, but it will become a flood. What is especially promising in this case is the international collaboration involved in developing and disseminating the procedures. Because SCI bows to no flag, we need more of such collaboration.

Please put your entire question in the text box even if it is already in the subject line. I am afraid that "does not obey to authoritative call" is not good English, but the idea seems right. SCI (personified) does not care what country its victim is from, and no government however powerful has any effect on it.
