Peripheral Nerve Injury-Induced Astrocyte Activation in Spinal Ventral Horn Contributes to Nerve Regeneration

Figure 2

Identification of the PNI models. (a) Representative images of GAP-43 immunostained longitudinal sections to show no regenerating axon in the distal trunk of transected sciatic nerve at 28 dpi and the regenerating axons in the sutured nerves at 7 dpi and 28 dpi (transected sites). (b) Statistics of the sciatic functional index and (c) weight of gastrocnemius muscle assessments in the ipsilateral side of the injured nerve. .
