Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the regrowth of damaged axonal fibers.
When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...
The data shows when the protein is removed from neurons or has its signaling activity blocked with drugs, axonal fibers grew more effectively.

The human body has evolved to shield its vital organs, from the brain's hard skull and meninges to the ribs and sternum protecting the heart and lungs. Even abdominal structures are safeguarded by ...
Axons are the long fibers that carry signals between nerve cells, or neurons, in both central and peripheral nervous systems.
