homeostasis/metabolism
• at 14 days post injury, astrocytes adjacent to spinal cord lesions are larger and have thicker processes compared to astrocytes in injured wild-type mice
• however, lesion size is similar to that in injured wild-type mice
• at 35 days post injury astrocytes adjacent to the injury site remain hypertrophic unlike in wild-type controls
• increase in the number of axons present within the injury site
