Anti-inflammatory mechanisms in Wallerian degeneration in injured peripheral nerve

Axonal injury induces a coordinated set of cellular responses termed Wallerian degeneration (WD). In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), WD is initiated by pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. These pro-inflammatory signals are promptly switched off by various anti-inflammatory mechanisms. In...
