Health Science Reports, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Background and Aims Genetic variants play a crucial role in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the relationship between aldose reductase (ALR2) (C106T) polymorphism with proliferative DR and associated risk factors in Palestinian type 2 diabetic patients.

Extent and mechanism of sealing in transected giant axons of squid and earthworms [PDF]
, 1994 Transected axons are often assumed to seal at their cut ends by the formation of continuous membrane barriers that allow for the restoration of function in the axonal stumps.

The Progress in Exploratory Studies of Peripheral Blood Single Nucleated Cells as Seed Cells in Peripheral Nerve Repair. [PDF]
Neural PlastPeripheral nerve injury (PNI) represents a prevalent clinical condition, often resulting from mechanical trauma or tumor resection, which frequently induces persistent sensory deficits, motor impairment, neuropathic pain, or paralysis. Consequently, substantial socioeconomic burdens are imposed on affected individuals.

Presynaptic initiation by action potentials of retrograde signals in developing neurons. [PDF]
, 1997 Until recently, the only means by which electrical activity was believed to initiate retrograde signals was via postsynaptic events: modulated synthesis or release of trophic factors.

Mechanisms for the maintenance and eventual degradation of neurofilament proteins in the distal segments of severed goldfish Mauthner axons [PDF]
, 1996 Cellular mechanisms that might affect the degradation of neurofilament proteins (NFPs) were examined in the distal segments of severed goldfish Mauthner axons (M-axons), which do not degenerate for more than 2 months after severance.

Fresh human amniotic membrane effectively promotes the repair of injured common peroneal nerve
Neural Regeneration Research, 2019 Suture and autologous nerve transplantation are the primary therapeutic measures for completely severed nerves. However, imbalances in the microenvironment and adhesion of surrounding tissues can affect the quality of nerve regeneration and repair ...

Differential transport and local translation of cytoskeletal, injury-response, and neurodegeneration protein mRNAs in axons [PDF]
, 2005 Recent studies have begun to focus on the signals that regulate axonal protein synthesis and the functional significance of localized protein synthesis. However, identification of proteins that are synthesized in mammalian axons has been mainly based on ...
