Sandwiched between two national parks, Miami-Dade County has a shortage of developable land, an intractable problem that puts affordable housing out of the reach of low- and moderate-income residents who already spend more than 70% of their income on housing and transportation. Or so the thinking goes. Read more “Collaboration to Solve Affordable Housing Shortage”
![Figure 4 Dusp14 regulates axon regeneration through dephosphorylation of the MAPK family in vivo. (A) No change in Dusp14 expression was detectable at 5 and 14 days after optic nerve crush. (B) Dusp14 expression decreased after intravitreal injection of AAV2-Dusp14-shRNA in vivo (arrows). (C–F) Dusp14 knockdown significantly increased the number of pERK1/2-positive cells (D) and pERK1/2 fluorescent intensity (E) in retinas treated with BDNF. (*P < 0.05, Student's t-test; n = 4 [D, E]) Scale bars: 25 μm in (A) to (C), 500 μm in (D).

Adult central nervous system (CNS) neurons are unable to regenerate their axons after injury. Krüppel-like transcription factor (KLF) family members regulate intrinsic axon growth ability in vitro and in vivo, but mechanisms downstream of these transcription factors are not known.
