An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis), or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles, and glands. In certain sensory neurons (pseudounipolar neurons), such as those for touch and warmth, the axons are called afferent nerve fibers and the electrical impulse travels along these from the periphery to the cell body, and from the cell body to the spinal cord along another branch of the same axon. Axon dysfunction has caused many inherited and acquired neurological disorders which can affect both the peripheral and central neurons. Nerve fibers are classed into three types – group A nerve fibers, group B nerve fibers, and group C nerve fibers. Groups A and B are myelinated, and group C are unmyelinated. These groups include both sensory fibers and motor fibers. Another classification groups only the sensory fibers as Type I, Type II, Type III, and Type IV.

Regenesance BV was founded in november, 2009 on groundbreaking research from the academic medical center. AMC researchers found that an innate part of the immune system (complement pathway) is activated after nerve damage to produce a lytic complex (called the membrane attack complex or MAC). Normally, the MAC attacks pathogens and helps remove tissue debris following trauma. However, AMC researchers learned that MAC can also damage nerves, particularly those attempting to regrow after injury. This work indicates that a variety of acute or chronic nervous system disorders may benefit from new therapies that strategically control MAC activation.
