AT-rich interaction domain 5A facilitates axon regeneration through docking protein 6 in the peripheral nervous system Burns Trauma (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2025-02-10 Zhixian Ren, Weixiao Huang, Xiaosong Gu, Lili Zhao
Background Peripheral nerves are easily damaged in accidental trauma due to their shallow location. Compared to the limited regeneration of the central nerve, the peripheral nerve has a certain regenerative ability after injury. However, this ability is not sufficient to achieve functional recovery. To increase the rate of regeneration after nerve injury, increasing regeneration-associated genes (RAGs)
