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 ...

The data shows when the protein is removed from neurons or has its signaling activity blocked with drugs, axonal fibers grew more effectively.

Axons are the long fibers that carry signals between nerve cells, or neurons, in both central and peripheral nervous systems.
