Oncomodulin mRNA production peaks within a day of an inflammatory response. During inflammation, macrophages are released into the eye in order to promote axon regeneration. Inducing an inflammatory response enables the ability of sensory neurons to regenerate their axons through the dorsal roots.
Within a day following an inflammatory response, Oncomodulin mRNA production is maximized. Macrophages enter the eye during inflammation to promote axon regeneration in sensory neurons. Inducing an inflammatory response enables sensory neurons to regenerate their axons via dorsal roots.
