title: Mitochondria on the Road to Power Axonal Regeneration.
abstract: In this issue of Neuron, Han et al. (2016) and Cartoni et al. (2016) define a critical role of mitochondrial transport for successful axon regeneration after injury and provide new insights into intrinsic mechanisms controlling neuronal regeneration capacity in worms and mice.
