Abstract excerpt
Following axon injury, a cascade of signaling events is triggered to initiate axon regeneration. However, the mechanisms regulating axon regeneration are not well understood at present. In Caenorhabditis elegans, axon regeneration utilizes many of the components involved in phagocytosis, including integrin and Rac GTPase. Here, we identify the transthyretin (TTR)-like protein TTR-11 as a component functioning in...
