Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The discovery could unlock new ways to treat nerve injuries and even restore ...

Axonal regrowth is a crucial process for forming a compensatory neuronal network after spinal cord injury (SCI), but this is very limited in the adult mammalian central nervous system.

Effective axon regeneration is critical for restoring nerve function in patients with axon injury-related neurological diseases, yet adult mammals show limited regenerative capacity in central axonal ...
