Abstract

Axonal degeneration is prevalent in neurodegenerative disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Hughes et al. developed potent small molecule inhibitors of SARM1, a central driver of axonal degeneration, that protect axons and allow recovery of already-injured axons that otherwise would degenerate. SARM1 inhibition may treat axonal degeneration.
