Antagonistic role of vega1 and bozozok/dharma homeobox genes in organizer formation.

abstract：:Peripheral nerve injury induces a robust proregenerative program that drives axon regeneration. While many regeneration-associated genes are known, the mechanisms by which injury activates them are less well-understood. To identify such mechanisms, we performed a loss-of-function pharmacological screen in cultured adu...
