Abstract excerpt
The myelin-derived neurite growth inhibitor Nogo has been proposed to play a major role in blocking axon regeneration in the CNS after injuries. However, past studies have produced mixed results regarding the regenerative phenotype of various Nogo-deficient mouse lines after experimental spinal cord injury. Two lines did not display enhanced corticospinal tract (CST) regeneration, and one displayed modest...
