Factors regulating axon regeneration via JNK MAP kinase in Caenorhabditis elegans
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Axon regeneration following nerve injury is a highly conserved process in animals. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent model for investigating the molecular mechanisms of axon regeneration. Recent studies using C. elegans have shown that the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) plays the important role in axon regeneration. Furthermore, many factors have been identified that act upstream of the JNK cascade after axotomy. This review introduces these factors and describes their roles during the regulation of axon regeneration.
