## Abstract Explants of frog tadpole spinal cord cocultured with blastemas of regenerating hindlimbs provide in vitro evidence that the mesenchymelike cells of the blastema may serve to elicit nerve fiber growth and sprouting into the limb stump. The present study indicates that (1) blastemal mesen
## Abstract Central nervous system axons regenerate into a Schwann cell implant placed in the transected thoracic spinal cord of an adult rat. The present study was designed to test whether these regenerated axons are capable of conducting action potentials. Following the transection and removal of
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) promotes axonal regeneration in the peripheral nervous system and this effect is enhanced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). We decided, therefore, to study the effects of these factors on axonal regeneration in the adult rat spinal cord. Semipermeable pol
