Strategies to Promote Long-Distance Optic Nerve Regeneration

Strategies to Promote Long-Distance Optic Nerve Regeneration

Mammalian retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the central nervous system (CNS) often die after optic nerve injury and surviving RGCs fail to regenerate their axons, eventually resulting in irreversible vision loss. Manipulation of a diverse group of genes can significantly boost optic nerve regeneratio...
