Elastic moduli of rat spinal cord tissue measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM). In adult rats, where neurons do not normally regenerate, spinal cord tissue significantly softens after injury (D) if compared with healthy tissue (C). Scale bars, 500 μm. Adapted from Moeendarbary et al.36and reprinted with permission fromNature Communications. In contrast, peripheral nerve tissue in rats and spinal cord tissue in zebrafish, both systems in which neurons do regenerate, stiffen after injury.190,191
