Neuroprotection of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor in damaged spinal cords following contusive injury.

abstract：:Small-diameter myelinated CNS axons are preferentially affected in multiple sclerosis (MS) and in the hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP), in which the distal axon degenerates. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of these and other disorders involving axonal degeneration. The aim of this...
