title: Not just a rush of blood to the head.
abstract: Angiogenesis is a key feature of central nervous system injury. A neovessel-derived signal mediated by prostacyclin triggers axonal sprouting and functional recovery in a mouse model of inflammatory spinal cord injury (pages 1658-1664). Are such angiocrine signals relevant to neurovascular remodeling and recovery in other neurological contexts?
