DLK inhibition has sex-specific effects on neuroprotection and locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury

John C. Aldrich, Samantha M. Alman, Sydney E. Lee, Ashley R. Scheinfeld, Canwen Zhang, Averi L. Pike, Fiona C. Bremner, Olivia Calderon, Sunil Goodwani, William J. Ray, Andrew D. Gaudet

This study shows that DLK inhibition after spinal cord injury improves neuroprotection in female mice but worsens recovery and increases lesion size in males.
