Model for Wnt/β-catenin function during axonal regeneration in the zebrafish spinal cord. Spinal cord (sc) lesion triggers Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation in fibroblast-like cells. Wnt/β-catenin signaling controls col12a1a/b transcription and deposition of Col XII in the lesion site ECM, through which axons regenerate to facilitate functional recovery. Interference with Wnt/β-catenin signaling in fibroblast-like cells or Col XII deposition prevents axon regeneration and functional recovery
