The glial regenerative response to central nervous system injury is enabled by pros-notch and pros-NFκB feedback.

Organisms are structurally robust, as cells accommodate changes preserving structural integrity and function. The molecular mechanisms underlying structural robustness and plasticity are poorly understood, but can be investigated by probing how cells respond to injury. Injury to the CNS induces prol...
