This study shows that early postnatal sensory neurons regenerate without upregulating regeneration-associated genes, suggesting distinct regenerative mechanisms compared to adult neurons.

This study evaluates motoneuronal regeneration and Wallerian degeneration after sciatic nerve injury at different postnatal stages in mice, finding that regenerative capacity is linked to intrinsic growth state rather than age.

This paper generates Ccdc28b mutant mice and finds they exhibit social behavioral defects and autism-like features, suggesting a link between CCDC28B and autism spectrum disorder beyond its role as a modifier of Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
