Quantitative analysis of the longest distance of sensory axons growing into the lesion/transplant. CTB axons grew into the injury site a short distance (left), reaching only 20% of the length of injury area (right). Transplanted GRP promoted axonal growth for a longer distance (left, *p<0.001) reaching the middle of the transplant about 50% of the length of injury (right, *p=0.000). n = 4 for both CTL and hGRP+ groups. Data = Mean ± S.E.M. Data was analyzed with Student’s t-test.
