Abstract excerpt
The inducible transcription factor c-Jun increases in neurons in response to axotomy by unknown mechanisms, and it has been postulated that c-Jun may regulate genes involved in promoting either degeneration or regeneration of axotomized neurons. In this report, we investigated the effect of daily...
