Facilitating axon regeneration in the injured central nervous system remains a challenging task. RAF-MAP2K signaling plays key role elongation during development. Here, we show that conditional expression of constitutively kinase-activated BRAF mature corticospinal neurons elicited set transcription factors previously implicated zebrafish retinal ganglion cell axons and promoted sprouting tract (CST) after spinal cord injury mice. Newly collaterals formed synaptic connections with...
ABSTRACT Facilitating axon regeneration in the injured central nervous system remains a challenging task. RAF–MEK signaling plays an important role elongation during development. Here we show that activation of B-RAF mature corticospinal neurons elicited expression discrete set transcription factors previously implicated zebrafish optic nerve axons. Genetic B-RAF–MEK promoted robust and sprouting tract axons after injury. Newly collaterals formed synaptic connections with spinal...
