Secretome Profiling in Axon Regeneration: Emerging Techniques and Therapeutic Translation

open access: yesSensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The secretome refers to the in vivo ensemble of molecular entities that are found in interstitial spaces. It is then the mere secreted products of the cells, as all biomolecules in the interstitial cellular spaces also undergo modifications. The fractionated secretome may hold potential as a cell‐free therapy option due to its role in tissue ...
