Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are potent inhibitors of axonal regrowth and remyelination. More recently, they have also been highlighted as a modulator of macrophage infiltration into the central nervous system in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an inflammatory model of multiple sclerosis. METHODS: We interrogated results from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) lying in or...
