Sodium-activated potassium ion currents encoded by the kcnt1 gene delay action potential firing in DRG neurons by activity preceding an action potential.
The molecular, cellular, and spatial heterogeneity of adult human spinal cord serve as an important resource to explore the mechanisms underlying spinal cord physiology and diseases.
Inhibiting RNA N6-methyladenosine demethylase ALKBH5 promoted axonal regeneration of dorsal root ganglion neurons by regulating stability of Lpin2 mRNA and enhanced the survival and axonal regeneration of retinal ganglion cells.
The microenvironment surrounding sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia responds differently to peripheral and central injuries, revealing that non-neuronal cells can be manipulated to promote axon regeneration after central injury.
