Intraneuronal shift in bioenergetics as key for neuronal repair in the central nervous system KU Leuven
Brain injury and neurodegenerative disorders represent a growing socio-economic problem in our aging society, partly because the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals has a limited regenerative capacity. Most of the injured neurons die, and the few survivors fail to extend their axons beyond the damaged site. Despite many years of research, functional circuit regeneration is still not possible. Up till now, the contribution of dendrites to ...
