## Abstract Reactive astrocytes are one of the main impediments for axonal regeneration in the central nervous system of mammals. Using mice KO for GFAP and vimentin, we show that reinnervation occurs after an hemisection of the spinal cord, mainly through sprouting of controlateral intact serotoni

Nondiffusable substrate-bound molecules associated with the cell surface and extracellular matrix can promote or inhibit axon growth. Adhesion molecules associated with astrocytes and neurons play a role in promoting neurite growth in vitro. A large number of adhesion molecules have been identified,
## Abstract Neurons projecting into the peripheral nervous system (PNS) regenerate their axons after injury, in contrast to those confined to the central nervous system (CNS). Both neuronal and nonneuronal factors contribute to the lack of CNS regeneration. In this review we concentrate on the diff
