Requirement of retinoic acid receptor β for genipin derivative-induced optic nerve regeneration in adult rat retina.
Like other CNS neurons, mature retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are unable to regenerate their axons after nerve injury due to a diminished intrinsic regenerative capacity. One of the reasons why they lose the capacity for axon regeneration seems to be associated with a dramatic shift in RGCs' pro...
