Astrocytic heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U is involved in scar formation after spinal cord injury

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2025 • January 28, 2025

This study identifies heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U (Hnrnpu) as a potential endogenous molecule that regulates astrocyte proliferation and the following scar formation. Inhibition of Hnrnp...

KEY FINDING: Hnrnpu promotes astrocyte reactivity. Inhibiting Hnrnpu suppresses astrocyte migration and alters expression of the genes associated with astrocyte reactivity in  vitro.
