Axon-specific microtubule regulation drives asymmetric regeneration of sensory neuron axons

Ana Catarina Costa, Blanca R Murillo, Rita Bessa, Ricardo Ribeiro, Tiago Ferreira da Silva, Patrícia Porfírio-Rodrigues, Gabriel G. Martins, Pedro Brites, Matthias Kneussel, Thomas Misgeld, Monika S. Brill, Mónica Mendes Sousa

This study identifies an axon-specific microtubule-associated protein signature that drives asymmetric regeneration in sensory neuron axons, using an in vitro model of DRG neurons.
