What this result says about which claim

  • Partially supports — Enzymatic degradation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans with Chondroitinase ABC improves motor function after spinal cord injury.

    Importantly, ChABC treatment at cervical level 4 in this chronic model also elicited improvements in gross upper arm function.

  • Supports — Systemic combinatorial blockade of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan production and the PTPσ receptor improves forelimb and paw motor function after spinal cord injury.
