Axon regeneration and central nervous system repair represent critical frontiers in neuroscience research, offering promise for restoring communication and function after injury. Following trauma, ...

The researchers tested whether delaying treatment with cnicin still promoted axon regeneration. They found that delaying treatment by five days meant that motor and sensory recovery was slower, but ...

Damages to the central nervous system (CNS), for example in the case of spinal cord injury, can result in permanent loss of sensory and motor function. It is because the severed axons are unable to ...

Imaging shows regeneration of sensory axons four weeks after a spinal cord injury in an adult mouse injected with PDGF-BB at the lesion site. COLUMBUS, Ohio – Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny ...

The paper Y. Cho et al., “Injury-induced HDAC5 nuclear export is essential for axon regeneration,” Cell, 155:894–908, 2013. To regenerate after injury, a nerve cell must turn on gene programs that ...

Injuries to the nerves can blind or paralyze because adult nerve cells don't regenerate their connections. Now, a team of UConn School of Medicine researchers report in Development that at least a ...

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests. In mouse experiments, scientists introduced ...
