The review discusses the inhibitory effects of CNS myelin and reactive astrocytes on axon regeneration after injury. It highlights the role of molecules like NI-35/250 in myelin and chondroitin sulfat...
KEY FINDING: Molecules derived from myelin inhibit axon outgrowth. A high-molecular-weight membrane protein (NI-35/250) has been found in rat, bovine, and human myelin as a main neurite growth inhibitory factor.
