“Inhibiting the Inhibitors” to Support Axonal Regeneration

Neurosurgery

February 1, 2016

After spinal cord injury (SCI), the disruptive interactions of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) produced by reactive astrocytes create glial scars that are major barriers to neural circuit reconnection and functional recovery. Recent work reveals a novel strategy to inhibit an inhibitor of neural regeneration.

The results demonstrate how fundamental laboratory research may lead to new therapies. “We’re very excited at the possibility that millions of people could, one day, regain movements lost during spinal cord injuries,” said Jerry Silver, Ph.D.

Study researchers found that ISP helped lab rats with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to control urination, move or both. They added that the results could be a sign the compound could be used in the future for treating humans with similar injuries.Study researchers found that ISP helped lab rats with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to control urination, move or both.
