Phagocytosis by Peripheral Glia: Importance for Nervous System Functions and Implications in Injury and Disease
The central nervous system (CNS) has very limited capacity to regenerate after traumatic injury or disease. In contrast, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) has far greater capacity for regeneration. This difference can be partly attributed to variances in glial-mediated functions, such as axon guid...
