Enhancing myelin repair in experimental model of multiple sclerosis using immobilized chondroitinase ABC I on porous silicon nanoparticles

Removal of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) with chondroitinase ABC I (ChABC) facilitates axonal plasticity, axonal regeneration and remyelination, following injury to the central nervous system (CNS). However, the ChABC rapidly undergoes thermal inactivity and needs to be injected repeatedly. Here this limitation was overcame by immobilizing the ChABC on porous silicon (PSi) nanoparticles (ChABC@PSi). The efficacy of immobilized ChABC...
