Neurons with axons in the peripheral nervous system can successfully regenerate when injured [ 22 ] . This is in part due to an environment permissive for axonal growth but also due to the upregulation of regeneration-associated genes (RAGs) which increase intrinsic growth capacity [ 23 ] . Three examples of RAGs are GAP-43 and CAP-23 [ 24 ] and sprp1A [ 8 ] . We now find several other potential candidates including; α2 macroglobulin, CLP36, and VGF all of which have been described to promote neurite outgrowth or interact with the cytoskeleton in a way that may promote regeneration (see Table 4 [additional file 3] for references).
