We read with interest the article by Goldshmit et al. in this issue of Brain and Behavior . They hypothesized that FGF2 , given subcutaneously in a hemisection spinal cord injury ( SCI ) model in mice, decreases inflammation and gliosis, increases radial glia, neural progenitor cells, neuronal survival and axonogenesis, and ultimately leads to improved functional recovery.
