Is resistance to ischaemia of motor axons in diabetic subjects due to membrane depolarization? [PDF]
The reasons for the resistance to ischaemia of peripheral nerves in diabetics are not well understood. We have now explored whether axonal depolarization underlies this phenomenon, as has previously been proposed.

Visualisation of ribosomes in Drosophila axons using Ribo-BiFC
The distribution of assembled, and potentially translating, ribosomes within cells can be visualised in Drosophila by using Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) to monitor the interaction between tagged pairs of 40S and 60S ribosomal proteins (

Local Accumulation of Axonal Mitochondria in the Optic Nerve Glial Lamina Precedes Myelination
Mitochondria are essential for neurons and must be optimally distributed along their axon to fulfill local functions. A high density of mitochondria has been observed in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons of an unmyelinated region of the optic nerve ...

Molecular mechanisms separating two axonal pathways during embryonic development of the avian optic tectum [PDF]
During embryonic development of the avian optic tectum, retinal and tectobulbar axons form an orthogonal array of nerve processes. Growing axons of both tracts are transiently very closely apposed to each other. Despite this spatial proximity, axons from

Resveratrol promotes axonal regeneration via PI3K/Akt pathway in rats after intracerebral hemorrhage
Objective To investigate the mechanism by which resveratrol (RES) promotes axonal regeneration in rats after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and explore the role of the PI3K/Akt pathway that regulates the AMPKα pathway.

Axon degeneration: Linking axonal bioenergetics to myelin [PDF]
The mechanisms by which axonal degeneration occurs, even in the presence of apparently normal myelin sheaths, remain unknown. In this issue, Yin et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201607099) study mutant mice in which proteolipid protein is replaced by the peripheral myelin protein P0 and describe a number of early axonal ...

Function and distribution of three types of rectifying channel in rat spinal root myelinated axons [PDF]
1. The nature, distribution and function of rectifying channels in rat spinal root myelinated axons has been assessed with selective blocking agents and a variety of intracellular and extracellular recording techniques. 2.

Introduction Posttraumatic scarring of peripheral nerves produces unwanted adhesions that block axonal growth. In the context of surgical nerve repair, the organization of the scar tissue adjacent to conduits used to span the gap between the stumps of ...

Unrestrained growth of correctly oriented microtubules instructs axonal microtubule orientation
In many eukaryotic cells, directed molecular transport occurs along microtubules. Within neuronal axons, transport over vast distances particularly relies on uniformly oriented microtubules, whose plus-ends point towards the distal axon tip ...
