Induction of Autophagy and Autophagic Cell Death in Damaged Neural Tissue After Acute Spinal Cord Injury in Mice

Study design Expression of light chain 3 (LC3), a characteristic marker of autophagy, was examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot using a spinal cord injury (SCI) model in mice. Electron microscopic analysis was also performed to examine the anatomic formation of autophagy and autophagi…
