隱藏深海的熱浪對珊瑚礁構成威脅

2019年四月至五月，位於南太平洋中部法屬坡利尼西亞莫雷阿島一帶的珊瑚礁經歷了長時間且嚴重的高溫白化。由於該年並非厄爾尼諾年份，一般並不會出現這種情況，因此本事件令全球海洋科學界百思不解。

In CNS, such as retinal ganglion cells, IFNγ activates STAT1 in Ptpn2 cKO RGCs. STAT1 then upregulates neuronal cGAS expression. cGAS produces cGAMP and activate STING in neurons. In PNS, such as dorsal root ganglion, axotomy induces IFNγ expression in axons by local translation. And IFNγ activates STAT1-cGAS signaling and cGAMP production in surrounding Schwann cells and blood cells, to promote peripheral axon regeneration.

研究發現促進成年神經系統軸突再生的內在免疫機制

中樞神經系統一旦受創，例如在脊髓損傷的意外中，傷者很可能會永久喪失感覺或活動能力，當中的關鍵原因，是軸突斷裂後無法再生。目前，醫學界為脊髓損傷患者恢復活動能力的方法非常有限。若要為他們帶來治療希望，其中一個 研究方向，便是要破解令這些受傷軸突再生的方法。
