The factors inhibiting regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS) have been elaborated, debated, and studied for the past 70 years. Recent work has pointed to the fine balance that exists between repair and regeneration following CNS injury. Growth factors have featured prominently in this deb
## Abstract Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotential progenitor cells that have selfβrenewal activities. A single NSC is capable of generating various kinds of cells within the central nervous system (CNS), including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Because of these characteristics, th
## Abstract Injury to the central nervous system (CNS) can result in severe functional impairment. The brain and spinal cord, which constitute the CNS, have been viewed for decades as having a very limited capacity for regeneration. However, over the last several years, the body of evidence support
