A Stochastic Compartmental Model for Fast Axonal Transport [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper we develop a probabilistic micro-scale compartmental model and use it to study macro-scale properties of axonal transport, the process by which intracellular cargo is moved in the axons of neurons.

eLife, 2019 Cortical collapse factors affect microtubule (MT) dynamics at the plasma membrane. They play important roles in neurons, as suggested by inhibition of axon growth and regeneration through the ARF activator Efa6 in C.

Interferon inhibits the release of herpes simplex virus-1 from the axons of sensory neurons
mBio, 2023 Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) has evolved mechanisms to evade the host immune system and limit the antiviral effects induced by interferon (IFN) produced by local epithelial and immune cells.

Intra-axonal mechanisms driving axon regeneration
Brain Research, 2020 Traumatic injury to the peripheral and central nervous systems very often causes axotomy, where an axon loses connections with its target resulting in loss of function. The axon segments distal to the injury site lose connection with the cell body and degenerate.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): Risk Factors for Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Toxics, 2020 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) includes a group of multifactorial neurodevelopmental disorders defined clinically by core deficits in social reciprocity and communication, restrictive interests and repetitive behaviors.

Modeling tau transport in the axon initial segment [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences, vol. 329, article # 108468, 2020, 2020 By assuming that tau protein can be in seven kinetic states, we developed a model of tau protein transport in the axon and in the axon initial segment (AIS). Two separate sets of kinetic constants were determined, one in the axon and the other in the AIS.

A Fractional Viscoelastic Model Of The Axon In Brain White Matter [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Traumatic axonal injury occurs when loads experienced on the tissue-scale are transferred to the individual axons. Mechanical characterization of axon deformation especially under dynamic loads however is extremely difficult owing to their viscoelastic properties.

Developmental mechanism of the periodic membrane skeleton in axons
eLife, 2014 Actin, spectrin, and associated molecules form a periodic sub-membrane lattice structure in axons. How this membrane skeleton is developed and why it preferentially forms in axons are unknown.

A model of toxic neuropathy in Drosophila reveals a role for MORN4 in promoting axonal degeneration [PDF]
, 2012 Axonal degeneration is a molecular self-destruction cascade initiated following traumatic, toxic, and metabolic insults. Its mechanism underlies a number of disorders including hereditary and diabetic neuropathies and the neurotoxic side effects of ...

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).
