Functional Genomics: Phenotypic Screening of Regeneration Associated Genes in Central Nervous System Neurons

Adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) neurons are unable to extend axons after injury, partially owing to the inhibitory myelin and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) present in the environment. A neuron's intrinsic state is also important for determining its regenerative potentia...
