After traumatic injury, adult central nervous system (CNS) axons fail to regenerate. We have previously shown that one major impediment for axon regeneration is the basement membrane (BM) forming at the lesion center, by means of a wound healing collagenous scar, after lesioning the postcommisural fornix of the adult rat [Eur. J. Neurosci. 11 (1999) 632] [6]. This BM consists of a supramolecular network...
Apoptosis is an important cause of secondary cell death in spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI induces the expression of the low affinity neurotrophin receptor p75 (p75NTR), that in the absence of the high affinity component, TrkA, can promote cell death by apoptosis. We therefore hypothesized that a reduction of p75NTR expression in SCI may increase tissue sparing and therefore improve recovery of function...
