Delivery of thermostabilized chondroitinase ABC enhances axonal sprouting and functional recovery after spinal cord injury
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are one major class of axon growth inhibitors that are upregulated and accumulated around the lesion site after spinal cord injury (SCI), and result in regenerative failure. To overcome CSPG-mediated inhibition, digestion of CSPGs with chondroitinase ABC (ch...
