This study identifies RARA and RARG as cooperative regulators of axon regeneration in the CNS and PNS by reactivating developmental growth programs through combinatorial transcriptional control.

This paper identifies a small molecule DM04 that mimics retinoic acid's effects on axon growth and motor recovery after spinal cord injury, acting through a non-canonical mechanism.

This study identifies NR2F1 and NR2F6 as nuclear receptor transcription factors that promote axon regeneration in the corticospinal tract through chromatin remodeling, enhancer redeployment, and translational reprogramming.

The paper uses whole exome sequencing to identify pathogenic variants in a South Indian family with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, finding variants in RPGRIP1 and ARHGEF40 that co-segregate with the disease.
