How scars shape the neural landscape: Key molecular mediators of TGF-β1's anti-neuritogenic effects.

Following injury to the peripheral and central nervous systems, tissue levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 often increase, which is key for wound healing and scarring. However, active wound regions and scars appear to inhibit process outgrowth by regenerating neurons. We recently showed th...
