Taxol results in expansion of cystic cavities. a, d Representative images of transverse spinal cord sections stained with eriochrome cyanine and eosin from animals with I-5 mixed with PBS (a) or Taxol (d). Adjacent sections were stained with antibodies against FN (b, e). Asterisks indicate cystic cavities. Scale bars represent 200 μm. c, f Representative 3D reconstruction images of the spinal cord tissue from animals with I-5 mixed with PBS (c) or Taxol (f). Scale bars represent 1 mm. g Quantification graph of cavity volume. *** indicates p < 0.001 by two-tailed Student’s t-test. N = 4 for each group. Error bars represent the SEM
