The role of microenvironment in axonal regeneration : influences of lesion-induced changes and glial implants on the regeneration of the postcommissural fornix /

Show other versions (1)

Since the pioneering studies of Ramon y Cajal the inability of lesioned adult CNS axons to regenerate has been well established. During the past years advancements in molecular, cellular and biochemical knowledge have provided new insights into the extrinsic mechanims underlying regeneration failure...
