Therapeutic hypothermia is a potent tool in the treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, authors demonstrate how the RNA-binding motif protein RBM3, which is induced by mild cooling while global translation rate is slowed down, contributes substantially to neuroregeneration after adult HI injury, specifically in the subventricular zone and subgranular zone.
