Abstract
Single axon transection by laser surgery has made Caenorhabditis elegans a new model for axon regeneration. Multiple conserved molecular signaling modules have been discovered through powerful genetic screening. In vivo imaging with single cell and axon resolution has revealed unprecedented cellular dynamics in regenerating axons. Information from C. elegans has greatly expanded our knowledge of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of axon regeneration.Entities:
