Where this comes from

Abstract

The glial metabolic state instructs nerve regeneration. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Sundaram, Schütza, Schröter, et al. demonstrate that nerve injury induces adipocytes-glia signaling via leptin, thereby modulating glial metabolism and driving nerve regeneration.
