DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2022.726962
Abstract: Axon branching is a fundamental aspect of neuronal morphogenesis, neuronal circuit formation, and response of the nervous system to injury. Sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 (SARM1) was initially identified as promoting Wallerian degeneration… read more here.
