In this issue of Neuron, three studies establish new strategies to uncover mediators of retinal neuroprotection and optic nerve regeneration. Tian et al. (2022) carry out a multi-omics screen and identify transcriptional regulators of axon injury signaling leading to cell death; Jacobi et al. (2022) and Li et al. (2022) combine retrograde tracing and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) to uncover molecular targets for axon regeneration.
