 al Modulation\n\nAbstract: Valeria Cavalli and her team study the mechanis
 ms by which sensory neurons\, with cell bodies in dorsal root ganglia\, re
 spond to injury and regenerate their axons. They have identified multiple 
 neuronal pathways that enhance axon growth capacity. Additionally\, their 
 research has demonstrated that satellite glial cells (SGCs)\, which envelo
 p the sensory neuron soma\, play a role in nerve repair. The pathways iden
 tified in rodent SGCs have been shown to be conserved in human SGCs. Caval
 li's team is extending these studies to explore the contribution of SGCs t
 o sensory neuron function and dysfunction in disease states\, including au
 tism spectrum disorders\, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy\, and aging.\n\n
 Valeria Cavalli\n\nProfessor of Neuroscience\, Washington University in St
  Louis\, School of Medicine\n\nValeria Cavalli is the Robert E. and Louise
  F. Dunn Professor of Biomedical Research and Professor of Neuroscience at
  Washington University in St Louis. Her laboratory aims to unravel the mol
 ecular and cellular events responsible for repairing damaged axons and ide
 ntify therapeutic targets to improve neuronal function in the injured nerv
 ous system. Dr. Cavalli earned her PhD from the University of Geneva\, Swi
 tzerland\, where she studied the signaling mechanisms regulating membrane 
 trafficking in cells. She continued with postdoctoral training at the Univ
 ersity of California\, San Diego\, where she studied how information about
  injury is conveyed from the lesion site in the axon back to the soma. She
  received a post-doctoral fellowship from the Christopher and Dana Reeve F
 oundation to continue her studies on injury signaling\, which was influent
 ial in how she pursued her career. She was seized by the puzzle of nerve i
 njury and repair and has been tackling this question since joining Washing
 ton University\n
