Summary

Story summary

Researchers show that adult central nervous system neurons can enter a regeneration mode with precise molecular cues.
Epothilone B, a microtubule-stabilizing drug, supports this regeneration by guiding cytoskeletal changes.
Advanced imaging captured microtubules extending beyond injury sites, enabling axonal growth and membrane repair.
The findings point to new CNS injury therapies, moving from symptomatic care toward biological repair.
