Neuronal Dynamics and Axonal Flow: Axonal Peristalsis [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1972 By time-lapse, phase-contrast cinemicrography of sensory nerve fibers of young mice, isolated with their originating spinal ganglia in nutrient solution, the postulated peristaltic surface drive of the cellulifugal propulsion of the semisolid axonal column at a rate of the order of 1 mm/day (1 μm/min) could be verified and quantitatively analyzed.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells promote peripheral nerve repair via paracrine mechanisms
Neural Regeneration Research, 2015 Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) represent a promising young-state stem cell source for cell-based therapy. hUCMSC transplantation into the transected sciatic nerve promotes axonal regeneration and functional recovery.

Axon and Myelin Morphology in Animal and Human Spinal Cord
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2017 Characterizing precisely the microstructure of axons, their density, size and myelination is of interest for the neuroscientific community, for example to help maximize the outcome of studies on white matter (WM) pathologies of the spinal cord (SC).

Redundancy and compensation in axon guidance: genetic analysis of the Drosophila Ptp10D/Ptp4E receptor tyrosine phosphatase subfamily [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Drosophila has six receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs), five of which are expressed primarily in neurons. Mutations in all five affect axon guidance, either alone or in combination.

Visualisation of ribosomes in Drosophila axons using Ribo-BiFC
Biology Open, 2019 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 (

The Drosophila immunoglobulin gene turtle encodes guidance molecules involved in axon pathfinding [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Neuronal growth cones follow specific pathways over long distances in order to reach their appropriate targets. Research over the past 15 years has yielded a large body of information concerning the molecules that regulate this process.

Resveratrol promotes axonal regeneration via PI3K/Akt pathway in rats after intracerebral hemorrhage
Di-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2019 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.
