Editing Axoplasm (section)

=== Damage detection and regeneration ===
Axoplasm contains both the mRNA and ribonuclearprotein required for axonal protein synthesis. Axonal protein synthesis has been shown to be integral in both [[neural regeneration]] and in localized responses to axon damage.<ref name=Piper/> When an axon is damaged, both axonal translation and retrograde axonal transport are required to propagate a signal to the soma that the cell is damaged.<ref name=Piper/>
