Repulsive Environment Attenuation during Adult Mouse Optic Nerve Regeneration

Figure 4

Reactive astrogliosis within the optic nerve. (a–c) GFAP (red) and nuclear staining (blue) two weeks after injury. (a) Optic nerve from the Crush-only group showing an intense GFAP staining; (b and c) optic nerve and quantitative analysis exhibiting reduced levels of GFAP in the Regenerating group. (d–f) WFA (green) and nuclear staining (blue) two weeks after injury. (d) Optic nerve from the Crush-only group. (e and f) Optic nerve image and quantitative analysis presenting reduced levels of WFA density in the Regenerating group. per group. Scale bars: (a, b, d, e) 50 μm. Error bars in (c) and (f) show SEM. .
