Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Protects Oligpdendrocyte and Promotes Hindlimb Functional Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury in Rats
2012
Background
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a protein that stimulates differentiation, proliferation, and survival of cells in the granulocytic lineage. Recently, a neuroprotective effect of G-CSF was reported in a model of cerebral infarction and we previously reported the same effect in studies of murine spinal cord injury (SCI). The aim of the present study was to elucidate the potential therapeutic effect of G-CSF for SCI in rats.
