FGF-2 in Astroglial Cells during Vertebrate Spinal Cord Recovery

FGF-2 is a pleiotrophic cytokine with neurotrophic and gliogenic properties. It is known to regulate CNS injury responses, which include transformation of reactive astrocytes, neurogenesis and promotion of neurotrophic activities. In the brain, it is localized in astrocytes and discrete neuronal pop...
