## Abstract We screened for genes whose expression is significantly up‐ or downregulated during Wallerian degeneration in adult rat sciatic nerve with cDNA arrays. Fibroblast growth factor‐5 (FGF‐5) mRNA seemed to be induced. This was confirmed by northern blotting and in situ hybridization, as wel

In a previous study, we have shown that microtransplanted Schwann cell suspensions foster structural recovery of the acutely transected postcommissural fornix. The emphasis of the present study was to examine whether subacutely and chronically injured axons also demonstrate significant responsivenes
## Abstract Microenvironment mimicking biological situation is a vital issue in tissue regeneration. With much progress being made, one of the major challenges remains to develop a convenient method to fabricate the scaffold microenvironment suitable for cell attachment and proliferation. This arti
Two strategies have been shown by others to improve CST regeneration following thoracic spinal cord injury: 1) the administration of a monoclonal antibody, IN-1, raised against a myelin-associated, neurite growth inhibitory protein, and 2) the delivery of acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) in fi
