Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate whether lentiviral vector (LV)-mediated expression of a dominant negative mutant Rho-kinase (DNROCK) could inhibit activation of the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway and promote neurite outgrowth in a hostile microenvironment mimicking the injured central nervous system (CNS) in vitro. METHODS: Lentiviral stock was produced using the three-plasmid system by transfecting HEK293 cells. Myelin prepared...
