After axotomy, Schwann cells (SCs), required for successful nerve regeneration, undergo a number of cellular changes including dedifferentiation, proliferation, expression of molecules that support axon growth, and apoptosis. This study investigated the role of p75, sortilin, and proneurotrophins in SC survival after facial nerve (FN) axotomy.
