COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING NECROSIS INHIBITORS, SUCH AS NECROSTATINS, ALONE OR IN COMBINATION, FOR PROMOTING AXON REGENERATION AND NERVE FUNCTION, THEREBY TREATING CNS DISORDERS

摘要

Provided are methods for promoting axon regeneration of a Central Nervous System (CNS) neuron and promoting nerve function following injury to a CNS neuron, for example, brain and/or spinal cord injury. Axon regeneration in a CNS neuron or nerve function following injury to a CNS neuron can be promoted by administering a necrosis inhibitor either alone or in combination with an apoptosis inhibitor to a subject suffering from a CNS disorder, wherein a symptom of the CNS disorder is axon degeneration.
