Inhibiting poly(ADP-ribosylation) improves axon regeneration
The ability of a neuron to regenerate its axon after injury depends in part on its intrinsic regenerative potential. Here, we identify novel intrinsic regulators of axon regeneration: poly(ADP-ribose) glycohodrolases (PARGs) and poly(ADP-ribose ...

Normal Spastin Gene Dosage Is Specifically Required for Axon Regeneration
Axon regeneration allows neurons to repair circuits after trauma; however, most of the molecular players in this process remain to be identified. Given that microtubule rearrangements have been observed in injured neurons, we tested whether microtubule ...

Lin28 Signaling Supports Mammalian PNS and CNS Axon Regeneration
Summary: RNA-binding proteins Lin28a/b regulate cellular growth and tissue regeneration. Here, we investigated the role of Lin28 in the control of axon regeneration in postmitotic neurons.

Wolfram syndrome 1b mutation suppresses Mauthner-cell axon regeneration via ER stress signal pathway
Wolfram Syndrome (WS) is a fatal human inherited disease with symptoms of diabetes, vision decreasing, and neurodegeneration caused by mutations in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein WFS1.

Integrin Activation: Implications for Axon Regeneration [PDF]
Integrin activation is essential for creating functional transmembrane receptors capable of inducing downstream cellular effects such as cell migration, cell spreading, neurite outgrowth and axon regeneration. Integrins are bidirectional signalling molecules that mediate their effects by ‘inside–out’ and ‘outside–in’ signalling.

rab-27 acts in an intestinal pathway to inhibit axon regeneration in C. elegans.
Injured axons must regenerate to restore nervous system function, and regeneration is regulated in part by external factors from non-neuronal tissues.
