Knockdown of fidgetin improves regeneration of injured axons by a microtubule-based mechanism.

Matamoros AJ, Tom VJ, Wu D, Rao Y, Sharp DJ, Baas PW (2019) Knockdown of fidgetin improves regeneration of injured axons by a microtubule-based mechanism. J Neurosci 39(11):2011-2024. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1888-18.2018 PMID: 30647150

Objective: To test whether fidgetin knockdown assists axonal regeneration.

Summary: Results show that DRG neurons in which fidgetin was knocked down displayed enhanced regeneration of axons across the dorsal root entry zone into the spinal cord. The results establish fidgetin as a novel therapeutic target to augment nerve regeneration.
