“…The other component of the injury response is the sequential activation of a diverse features all of which support repair: (a) Upregulation of proteins that support neuronal survival and promote axonal regeneration, such as GDNF, artemin, BDNF, NT3, NGF, VEGF, erythropoietin, pleiotrophin, p75NTR, and N‐cadherin (Brushart et al, ; Chen et al, ; Fontana et al, ; reviewed in Boyd & Gordon, ; Scheib & Hőke, ; Wood & Mackinnon, ).
