Abstract: A nerve cell culture material including LASCol has the effect of successfully maintaining survival of the nerve cell. Furthermore, a therapeutic agent for nerve damage including LASCol can allow an endogenous nerve cell to infiltrate or proliferate actively in vivo, thereby enabling neurites to extend early and bind to each other, and has an effect on nerve damage, the effect being sufficient to improve a BBB score.
