Spinal cord axon injury location determines neuron’s regenerative fate

30 abril 2015

A previously unappreciated phenomenon has been reported in which the location of injury to a neuron’s communication wire in the spinal cord — the axon — determines whether the neuron simply stabilizes or attempts to regenerate. The study demonstrates how advances in live-imaging techniques are revealing new insights into the body’s ability to respond to spinal cord injuries.
