Cell viability in three ex vivo rat models of spinal cord injury
(Wiley, 2018-11-11)
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating disorder that has a poor prognosis of recovery. Animal models of SCI are useful to understand the pathophysiology of SCI and the potential use of therapeutic strategies for human ...
Lentiviral vector‐mediated knockdown of the neuroglycan 2 proteoglycan or expression of neurotrophin‐3 promotes neurite outgrowth in a cell culture model of the glial scar
(Wiley, 2010)
Background Following spinal cord injury, a highly inhibitory environment for axonal regeneration develops. One of the main sources of this inhibition is the glial scar that is formed after injury by reactive astrocytes. ...
Analysis of reactive astrocytes and NG2 proteoglycan in ex vivo rat models of spinal cord injury
(Elsevier, 2018-09-26)
Background: The use of animals to model spinal cord injury (SCI) requires extensive post-operative care and can be expensive, which makes an altemative model extremely attractive. The use ofex vivo slice cultures is an ...
