Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Increases Long-Term Survival of Spinal Motor Neurons and Improves Respiratory Function after Experimental Spinal Cord Injury

Acute focal injection of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) protects ventral horn (VH) neurons from death after experimental contusive spinal cord injury (SCI) at T8. Because these neurons innervate respiratory muscles, we hypothesized that respiratory deficits resulting from SCI would be attenua...
