Traumatic injury to the central nervous system (CNS) or the peripheral nervous system (PNS) triggers a cascade of events which culminate in a robust inflammatory reaction. The role played by inflammation in the course of degeneration and regeneration is not completely elucidated. While, in peripheral nerves, the inflammatory response is assumed to be essential for normal progression of Walleria...

Identifying the molecular pathways that are required for regeneration remains one of the great challenges of regenerative medicine. Although genetic mutations have been useful for identifying some molecular pathways, small molecule probes of regenerative pathways might offer some advantages, including the ability to disrupt pathway function with precise temporal control. However, a vertebrate r...

Hurricanes are known to affect plants and animals their interactions. Usually, hurricanes defoliate trees reduce the abundance density of arthropods. The parasitic arthropod Holopothrips tabebuia was first reported in Puerto Rico 2006. By 2007, it had established populations on two hosts: Tabebuia aurea heterophylla. In September 2017, Hurricane María defoliated both hosts. This study aimed det...
