Two PhD positions Molecular Mechanisms of Neuroregeneration
-
Neurons in the central nervous system do not regenerate after axonal damage. A major challenge in the field of neuroregeneration is to find efficient methods to promote the regenerative capacity of central neurons after for instance spinal cord injury or stroke. The Genes and Plasticity team of Dr....
