We found decreased expression of fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF-7), a factor involved in synaptic organization and maintenance. Using an in vitro system, we examined the molecular mechanism of TGF-¦Â1 and forskolin on the regulation of FGF-7 expression in SCs %K Fibroblast growth factor 7 %K nerve injury %K nerve regeneration %K Schwann cells %K transforming growth factor beta 1 %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6447212/
