All of the animals underwent general anesthesia by intraperitoneal injection of ketamine and xylazine. Using a surgical microscope (Zeiss OPMI 1FC), laminectomy of one vertebra at thoracic level T8–T9 was performed. We used a dorsal hemi-crush model as previously described by Chen et al., (2017) . A pair of no. 5 Dumont forceps (Fine Science Tools) was then used to compress the dorsal spinal cord at a depth of 0.7 mm across the entire width of the cord for 5 s. This dorsal hemi-crush model allowed for better survival following surgery as compared with full spinal cord complete crush and thus was used throughout this study, especially given that mice overexpressing astrocyte-specific LZK exhibited reduced survival even without injury.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
