Axonal shortening and the mechanisms of axonal motility

Cell Motility, 1988
AbstractAxons in tissue culture retract and shorten if their tips are detached from the substrate. The shortening reaction of the axon involves contractile forces that also arise during normal axonal motility, elongation, and retraction. We studied shortening in axonal segments isolated from their parent axons by transecting the axon between the growth

AXONAL REGENERATION

Biological Reviews, 1996
Axons damaged in a peripheral nerve are often able to regenerate from the site of injury along the degenerate distal segment of the nerve to reform functional synapses. Schwann cells play a central role in this process. However, in the adult mammalian central nervous system, from which Schwann cells are absent, axonal regeneration does not progress to ...

Axonal myosins

Journal of Neurocytology, 2000
The myosin super family is an extended family of actin-based motor proteins that can be divided into 15-18 structurally distinct classes (Sellers, J. R (2000) Biochemica et Biophysica Acta, 1496, 3-22; Hodge, T. & Cope, M. J. T. V. (2000) Journal of Cell Science, 113, 3353-3354; Berg, J. S., Powell, B. C. & Cheney, R. E.

Axonal Pathfinding

2009
Axon pathfinding is an important process in the development of the nervous system. Models have been developed which describe or attempt to explain various aspects of axon pathfinding, such as axon extension, axon turning, axon guidance, interactions between axons, retinotectal mapping, and the way in which guidance cue patterns are generated in the ...

Tracing axons

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1998
For more than a century, neuroscientists have gained insight into brain function by examining its complex patterns of connectivity. To achieve this, a wide variety of axon-tracing techniques have been employed to chart the projections of neurons. New, experimentally flexible, reporter-based tracers, many of which are fusion proteins designed to target ...
