Recovery from chronic spinal cord contusion after nogo receptor intervention

Several interventions promote axonal growth and functional recovery when initiated shortly after central nervous system injury, including blockade of myelin‐derived inhibitors with soluble Nogo receptor (NgR1, RTN4R) decoy protein. We examined the efficacy of this intervention in the much more prevalent and refractory condition of chronic spinal cord injury.
