Abstract

Following spinal cord injury, a highly inhibitory environment for axonal regeneration develops. One of the main sources of this inhibition is the glial scar that is formed after injury by reactive astrocytes. The inhibitory environment is mainly a result of chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs). NG2, [corrected] one of the main inhibitory CSPGs, is up-regulated following spinal cord injury.
