Abstract excerpt
In vertebrate peripheral nerves, damaged axons can regrow after injury, but the outcomes of regeneration are variable and often incomplete. Schwann cells in injured nerves are important for repair, but their actions at different positions and stages of nerve repair are not well understood. We have investigated the roles of Schwann cells in a larval zebrafish nerve injury model, in which nerves are visible in...
