    Publication number: 20100048678
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for promoting regeneration response of peripheral and central nervous systems in mammals in need of such biological effects. The methods comprise altering the activity or steady state level of specific polypeptides that control regeneration of injured or degenerated neuronal cells.
