Abstract excerpt
Growth-inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) contribute a lot to failure of axon regeneration. Chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) digests glycosaminoglycan chains attached in CSPGs and can thereby promote axonal regeneration beyond a lesion site. However, CSPGs expression are up-regulated for almost 7 weeks after spinal cord injury (SCI) in vivo, so single dose of exogenous ChABC is insufficient for long...
