MBi-9 enhances terminal axonal sprouting following a partial nerve injury. (A, B) Representative images of a mouse treated with vehicle (A) or inhibitor (B) for 2 weeks following a partial LTN transection. White arrows indicate representative terminal axonal sprouts. Inset shows magnified YFP channel of 2 terminal axonal sprouts. (C) Quantification of the percentage of NMJs which have a terminal axonal sprout extending out from itself. Scale bars, 50 μm (A, B). Vehicle n = 3 and inhibitor n = 4. Numbers in parenthesis represent the total number of NMJs counted. *p < 0.05. Statistical significance was calculated using a two-tailed Student’s t test. Bars represent mean ± standard error
