Scientists discover why damaged nerves struggle to heal

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine have uncovered a key molecular mechanism that hinders the regrowth of damaged nerves. They found that a protein called AHR acts like a brake, pushing neurons to focus on stress management instead of repairing connections. By blocking AHR, they observed improved regeneration of axons and better recovery in mouse models. This exciting discovery could lead to new treatments for nerve injuries in the future.
