A switch in pdgfrb+ cell-derived ECM composition prevents inhibitory scarring and promotes axon regeneration in the zebrafish spinal cord

Vasiliki Tsata et al.

Summary: Our study reveals that injury to the zebrafish spinal cord triggers recruitment of pdgfrb(+) myoseptal and perivascular cells, which is dependent on PDGFR signaling. Interference with pdgfrb(+) cell recruitment or depletion inhibits axonal regrowth and recovery of locomotor function. This switch in ECM composition is crucial for axon regeneration after spinal cord injury.

Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes significant physical, financial, and psychological burdens on patients and their families, divided into primary and secondary injury. Secondary injury includes acute, subacute, intermediate, and chronic phases, with various causes such as the infiltration of inflammatory cells and release of cytokines.

Self-assembling peptide hydrogels for the stabilization and sustained release of active Chondroitinase ABC in vitro and in spinal cord injuries

Andrea Raspa et al.

Summary: After spinal cord injuries, harmful events such as activated microglia/macrophages infiltration, astrocyte migration, and increased production of inhibitory CSPGs often occur. Chronic SCI results in a gliotic scar that acts as a barrier to axonal regrowth, but biomaterial scaffolds show promise in promoting nervous cell restoration. Research focusing on self-assembling peptide (SAP) hydrogels loaded with Chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) demonstrates potential for enhancing host neural regeneration and behavioral recovery in chronic SCI.

CNS fibroblasts form a fibrotic scar in response to immune cell infiltration

Cayce E. Dorrier et al.

Summary: Fibrotic scarring in the CNS is identified to arise from proliferative CNS fibroblasts in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mouse model, with involvement of interferon-gamma pathway genes. Reduction of scarring can lead to decreased severity of motor symptoms.
