Quercetin enhances survival and axonal regeneration of motoneurons after spinal root avulsion and reimplantation: experiments in a rat model of brachial plexus avulsion

Highlights • Quercetin (QCN) promotes motoneuron survival and accelerates axonal regeneration after brachial plexus root avulsion/re-implantation in rats. • QCN improves motor function recovery of the forelimb. • QCN exhibits neuroprotective effects via inhibiting neuroinflammation and upregulating...
