Neurotrophic factors and axonal growth

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2002
Neuronal morphological differentiation is regulated by numerous polypeptide growth factors (neurotrophic factors). Recently, significant progress has been achieved in clarifying the roles of neurotrophins as well as glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family members in peripheral axon elongation during development.

Axonal Growth-Associated Proteins

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1989
Elongation ofaxons and active remodeling of their terminal arbors under­ lies the assembly of neural circuits during development, determines the success or fai lure of nerve regeneration, and may contribute to some forms of synaptic plast icity in adult brains.

Growth and degeneration of axons on astrocyte surfaces: Effects on extracellular matrix and on later axonal growth

Glia, 1993
AbstractCultured astrocytes deposit an extracellular matrix which has been shown by immunocytochemistry to react with antibodies to tenascin, laminin, and fibronectin. Neuronal‐glial interaction down‐regulates these components of the matrix, causing a reduction in extracellular matrix localized to areas of contact with axons.

Oligodendrocytes repel axons and cause axonal growth cone collapse

Journal of Cell Science, 1989
ABSTRACT We have examined the interactions between axons regenerating from dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) derived from newborn rats and oligodendrocytes cultured by three different techniques. Cultures examined after 2 days have a profuse outgrowth of axons from the DRGs, forming a dense mat on the culture surface.

Inhibition of axonal growth by a monoclonal antibody

Nature, 1983
Little is known about factors which control the outgrowth of neurites in the central nervous system (CNS) during development, although in vitro studies with neurones from the peripheral nervous system have shown that neurites require an appropriate substrate and specific factors for growth.

Growth and elongation within and along the axon

Developmental Neurobiology, 2009
AbstractMechanical tension is a particularly effective stimulus for axonal elongation, but little is known about how it leads to the formation of new axon. To better understand this process, we examined the movement of axonal branch points, beads bound to the axon, and docked mitochondria while monitoring axonal width. We found these markers moved in a

Regulation of Axonal Growth

1988
A major manifestation of neural plasticity is the ability of adult nerve cells to regulate the growth of their axons. For example, peripheral nerve injury can be followed by the regeneration of the severed axons and the sprouting of intact axons. These two modes of growth may result in new synapse formation and therefore bear functional significance ...

The Role of Axonal Transport in the Growth of the Olfactory Nerve Axons

1982
Numerous studies have analyzed changes in axonal transport that accompany nerve regeneration. These investigations have generally been carried out in vertebrate peripheral nerve or in lower vertebrate optic nerve, systems in which nerve injury is followed by rapid distal degeneration and regrowth of injured axons.
