Implantation of a Matrigel-loaded agarose scaffold promotes functional regeneration of axons after spinal cord injury in rat.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2018 Februrary 13
An agarose scaffold can be useful for supporting and guiding injured axons after spinal cord injury (SCI), but the electrophysiological signal of regenerated axon in scaffolds has not yet been determined. The current study investigated whether a Matrigel-loaded agarose scaffold would enhance the regeneration of axons after SCI. Moreover, the functional connectivity of regenerated axons within the channels of the scaffold was evaluated by directly recording motor evoked potentials. Our data showed that the agarose scaffold containing Matrigel can support and enhance linearly organized axon regeneration after SCI. Additionally, motor evoked potentials were successfully recorded from regenerated axons. These results demonstrate that an agarose scaffold loaded with Matrigel could promote the regeneration of axons and guide the reconnection of functional axons after SCI.
