Regeneration of damaged axons
Sites of injury to the central nervous system can be treated with chondroitinase ABC to clear the path for axon regeneration.
Apr 23, 2001
Following injury to the central nervous system the regenerating nerves need to regrow through the site of damage, but scarring in this area leads to the expression of proteins that inhibit axon growth. Proteins modified by the addition of chondroitin sulphates — a class of sugars — are one group of molecules involved in this inhibition. In the May
