Previous research has established that, when a peripheral neuron’s axon is severed, it decreases its synthesis of a number of proteins involved in neurotransmission and increases its synthesis of ...

In the dorsal root ganglia, where the cell bodies of the injured neurons are located, the role of macrophages is less defined. By understanding the mechanisms in place that support axonal regeneration ...
