hepatocyte growth factor inhibits glial scar formation and
Formation of glial scars physically impedes growth of regenerating axons following CNS injuries such as spinal cord trauma. Glial scars also produce various species of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) that act as a potent inhibitor of axon growth. Thus, inhibition of glial scar formation …

Silencing ITGB3 in Astrocytes
… as they migrate towards the injury site and form glial scars that block off the injury from the rest of the brain. While this response is meant to protect the brain by isolating the injury, reactive astrocytes have been shown to contribute towards further neuron degeneration and secondary damage …

Collagen scaffolds in full- and hemi- resection spinal cord injury models
… to axon regeneration such as fibrous and glial scars as well as molecules which actively inhibit regeneration. Even when these barriers are removed, axons in the central nervous system still require the appropriate stimulatory signals in order for significant regeneration to occur. These …
