title: Axon regeneration: it's getting crowded at the gates of TROY.
abstract: A novel neuronal receptor complex that mediates myelin's inhibitory action on nerve fiber regeneration has at last been identified. This discovery could be an important step towards promoting nerve regeneration after stroke or spinal cord injury.
