Abstract:Schwann cells (SCs), the myelinating glia of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), react to a PNS injury by converting into repair cells that foster axonal regrowth, and then remyelinate or re-ensheath regenerated axons, thereby ensuring functional recovery. The efficiency of this mechanism depends however on the time needed for axons to regrow. Here, we show that ablation of histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) in SCs accelerates the regrowth of sensory axons and sensory function recovery. We found that HDAC8 is spec… Show more
