A Fractional Viscoelastic Model Of The Axon In Brain White Matter [PDF]
Traumatic axonal injury occurs when loads experienced on the tissue-scale are transferred to the individual axons. Mechanical characterization of axon deformation especially under dynamic loads however is extremely difficult owing to their viscoelastic properties.

Axon Guidance: Gained in Translation [PDF]
In this issue of Neuron, Cagnetta et al. (2018) describe a novel method to identify, in an unbiased manner, newly synthesized axonal proteins in response to axon guidance cues. They find that axons stimulated by different guidance cues (Netrin-1, BDNF, and Sema3A) show distinct and common signatures.

Downstream of Guidance Receptors Entering the Baroque Period of Axon Guidance Signaling [PDF]
The Roundabout (“Robo”) family of transmembrane proteins are the receptors and mediators of the repellent axon guidance signal Slit. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Robo signaling leads to growth cone or neuron repulsion are still poorly ...

Through tuning biomimetic scaffold stiffness and matrix composition the reparative capacity of astrocyte progenitors is enhanced. Soft, collagen‐IV/fibronectin‐functionalized scaffolds promote progenitor growth while improving angiogenic, immunomodulatory, and neurotrophic capacity in a stiffness and matrix‐dependent manner, demonstrating the impact of

Microtubule dynamics in axon guidance [PDF]
Precise modulation of the cytoskeleton is involved in a variety of cellular processes including cell division, migration, polarity, and adhesion. In developing post-mitotic neurons, extracellular guidance cues not only trigger signaling cascades that act at a distance to indirectly regulate microtubule distribution, and assembly and disassembly in the ...

A novel one‐shot integration electropolymerization (OSIEP) method is developed as a breakthrough on the intricate photolithographic steps, enabling to compress all processes from synthesis to channel integration in one‐shot manufacturing. The specially designed dual bipolar electrodes provide the targeted depositions of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)

Plexin B3 guides axons to cross the midline in vivo
During the development of neural circuits, axons are guided by a variety of molecular cues to navigate through the brain and establish precise connections with correct partners at the right time and place. Many axon guidance cues have been identified and

Plexin-B2 facilitates glioblastoma infiltration by modulating cell biomechanics
Huang et al demonstrate that glioblastoma cells upregulate axon guidance molecule Plexin-B2 to gain invasiveness and that Plexin-B2 promotes glioblastoma cell infiltration along axon fiber tracts in intracranial transplant models by modulating cellular ...
