Transforming Growth Factor α Transforms Astrocytes to a Growth-Supportive Phenotype after Spinal Cord Injury

Astrocytes are both detrimental and beneficial for repair and recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). These dynamic cells are primary contributors to the growth-inhibitory glial scar, yet they are also neuroprotective and can form growth-supportive bridges on which axons traverse. We have shown tha...
