Axonal transport during injury on a theoretical axon. [PDF]
Front Cell Neurosci, 2023 Neurodevelopment, plasticity, and cognition are integral with functional directional transport in neuronal axons that occurs along a unique network of discontinuous polar microtubule (MT) bundles. Axonopathies are caused by brain trauma and genetic diseases that perturb or disrupt the axon MT infrastructure and, with it, the dynamic interplay of motor ...

The Role of Axonal Transport in Glaucoma. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and leads to progressive vision loss. The first pathological signs can be seen at the optic nerve head (ONH), the structure where RGC axons leave the retina to compose the optic nerve.

The axonal transport of mitochondria [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2005 Organelle transport is vital for the development and maintenance of axons, in which the distances between sites of organelle biogenesis, function, and recycling or degradation can be vast. Movement of mitochondria in axons can serve as a general model for how all organelles move: mitochondria are easy to identify, they move along both microtubule and ...

A high mitochondrial transport rate characterizes CNS neurons with high axonal regeneration capacity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Improving axonal transport in the injured and diseased central nervous system has been proposed as a promising strategy to improve neuronal repair. However, the contribution of each cargo to the repair mechanism is unknown.

Anterograde Axonal Transport in Neuronal Homeostasis and Disease
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 Neurons are highly polarized cells with an elongated axon that extends far away from the cell body. To maintain their homeostasis, neurons rely extensively on axonal transport of membranous organelles and other molecular complexes.

Retrograde axonal transport of rabies virus is unaffected by interferon treatment but blocked by emetine locally in axons. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Neuroinvasive viruses, such as alpha herpesviruses (αHV) and rabies virus (RABV), initially infect peripheral tissues, followed by invasion of the innervating axon termini.

Oxidative stress inhibits axonal transport: implications for neurodegenerative diseases
Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2012 Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) released by microglia and other inflammatory cells can cause axonal degeneration. A reduction in axonal transport has also been implicated as a cause of axonal dystrophies and neurodegeneration, but there is a ...

Demyelination and axonal preservation in a transgenic mouse model of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease [PDF]
, 2010 It is widely thought that demyelination contributes to the degeneration of axons and, in combination with acute inflammatory injury, is responsible for progressive axonal loss and persistent clinical disability in inflammatory demyelinating disease.

Kinesin-II is required for axonal transport of choline acetyltransferase in Drosophila [PDF]
, 1999 KLP64D and KLP68D are members of the kinesin-II family of proteins in Drosophila. Immunostaining for KLP68D and ribonucleic acid in situ hybridization for KLP64D demonstrated their preferential expression in cholinergic neurons.

Dynamics of Mitochondrial Transport in Axons [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 The polarized structure and long neurites of neurons pose a unique challenge for proper mitochondrial distribution. It is widely accepted that mitochondria move from the cell body to axon ends and vice versa; however, we have found that mitochondria originating from the axon ends moving in the retrograde direction never reach to the cell body, and only
