Spinal cord injuries in mammals, including humans, have devastating long-term consequences. Despite substantial research, therapeutic approaches developed in mammalian model systems have had limited success to date. An alternative strategy in the search for treatment of spinal cord lesions is provided by regeneration-competent vertebrates. These organisms, which include fish, urodele amphibians, and certain reptiles, have a spinal cord very similar in structure to that of mammals, but are capable of spontaneous structural and functional recovery after spinal cord injury. The present review aims to provide an overview of the current status of our knowledge of spinal cord regeneration in one of these groups, teleost fish. The findings are discussed from a comparative perspective, with reference to other taxa of regeneration-competent vertebrates, as well as to mammals. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
