“…For example, NGF supports the sprouting and regeneration of cholinergic local motor axons, primary nociceptive axons, and cerulospinal axons (Tuszynski et al, 1996; Grill et al, 1997; Romero et al, 2001; Tang et al, 2004a). Similarly, BDNF secreting bone marrow stromal cell transplants enhance regeneration of multiple neuronal populations including raphaespinal, cerulospinal, rubrospinal, local motor and propriospinal axons, while NT3 expression promotes regeneration of ascending sensory neurons across the DREZ and within the dorsal columns (Hollis and Tuszynski, 2011). Several studies show that the location of neurotrophin expression can also determine the extent of regeneration (Lu et al, 2001; Taylor et al, 2006).…”
