Here, we investigate the hypothesis that miR - 181a regulates the molecular pathways that control mDA axonal growth, and provide evidence that miR - 181a inhibition may be a novel therapeutic approach for
axonal regeneration in PD.
We report that targeting miR - 181a regulates axonal growth, and that miR - 181a inhibition may be a novel therapeutic approach for
axonal regeneration of neurons affected by PD.
Morgan Butler: Quantification of Dendritic and
Axonal Regeneration Following Unilateral Auditory Deafferentation of the Cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus
His research will attempt to identify novel ligands to utilize for
axonal regeneration as well as identifying their molecular mechanisms.
