Researchers have tried various means of circumventing these inhibitors over the years to promote CNS axon regeneration, with varying, if moderate, success. Sahoo, who arrived at RU-N in fall 2023 ...

Animal models as well as human cells have shown that cnicin significantly accelerates axon (nerve fibers) growth. The study was published in Phytomedicine. Regeneration pathways of injured nerves ...
