Lack of the transcription factor C/EBPδ impairs the intrinsic capacity of peripheral neurons for regeneration

► The transcription factor C/EBPδ is associated with the neuronal response to injury. ► Lack of C/EBPδ impairs the early phase of axonal regeneration in peripheral nerves. ► C/EBPδ affects the regulation of selective genetic regenerative pathways. ► C/EBPδ is required for efficient functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury.
