Axonal transport during injury on a theoretical axon

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 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 ...

Spreading of α-synuclein in the face of axonal transport deficits in Parkinson's disease: A speculative synthesis

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2015
Parkinson's disease (PD) is mainly attributed to degeneration of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra, but its etiopathogenesis also includes impaired protein clearance and axonal transport dysfunction, among others. The spread of α-synuclein (α-syn)

Retrograde axonal transport of rabies virus is unaffected by interferon treatment but blocked by emetine locally in axons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

A mutation in dynein rescues axonal transport defects and extends the life span of ALS mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative condition characterized by motoneuron degeneration and muscle paralysis. Although the precise pathogenesis of ALS remains unclear, mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) account for

Traumatic axonal injury in the spinal cord evoked by traumatic brain injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Although it is well known that traumatic brain injury (TBI) evokes traumatic axonal injury (TAI) within the brain, TBI-induced axonal damage in the spinal cord (SC) has been less extensively investigated.

Rab2 drives axonal transport of dense core vesicles and lysosomal organelles

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Fast axonal transport of neuropeptide-containing dense core vesicles (DCVs), endolysosomal organelles, and presynaptic components is critical for maintaining neuronal functionality.

Dynamics of Mitochondrial Transport in Axons [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Axonal transport plays a crucial role in mediating the axon-protective effects of NmNAT

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2014
Deficits in axonal transport are thought to contribute to the pathology of many neurodegenerative diseases. Expressing the slow Wallerian degeneration protein (WldS) or related nicotinamide mononucleotide adenyltransferases (NmNATs) protects axons ...
