متن کاملBrief Communication L1.1 Is Involved in Spinal Cord Regeneration in Adult Zebrafish
Adult zebrafish, in contrast to mammals, regrow axons descending from the brainstem after spinal cord transection. L1.1, a homolog of the mammalian recognition molecule L1, is upregulated by brainstem neurons during axon regrowth. However, its functional relevance for regeneration is unclear. Here, we show with a novel morpholino-based approach that reducing L1.1 protein expression leads to imp...
