Injured neurons are not replaced, so axon regeneration is essential to maintain the peripheral nervous system. Drosophila neurons can regenerate axons from dendrites, but many sensory neurons have cilia instead. To investigate the injury response in ciliated neurons, I severed axons of chordotonal neurons. Regeneration initiated from the axon stump or cell body. Knockdown of DLK, an injury signaling protein, reduced regeneration, suggesting that the injury response pathway is similar to neurons with branched dendrites.
