Helical Structure of Myxicola Axoplasm
Nature New Biology, 1972Dissection and polarizing microscopy of the giant axon of Myxicola reveal fibrous protein arranged in three levels of helical configurations, all of which may arise from torques about the axes of individual proteins.

1984
Publisher Summary The chapter examines the extent to which information obtained about the structure, chemistry, and physiology of axoplasm from the squid giant axon is applicable to smaller axons in animals other than the squid. The squid giant axon provides a powerful model for understanding the structure and functions of axons generally.

Honeycomb-like tubular structure in axoplasm
Acta Neuropathologica, 1968A honeycomb-like tubular array was observed in heavily myelinated axons. It was observed in the cerebellum of an apparently normal rat and a chimpanzee with “Kurulike” symptoms. It was also found in the cerebral cortex of a mouse that had had a intracerebral tumor implant. A common underlying etiology could not be found.

Effect of vinpocetine on retrograde axoplasmic transport
Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2007Vinpocetine, a derivate of vincamine, is widely used in the clinical pharmacotherapy of cerebral circulatory diseases. Herewith we report on a novel effect of vinpocetine: inhibition of retrograde axoplasmic transport of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the peripheral nerve.

Calmodulin: Is it involved in axoplasmic transport?
Trends in Neurosciences, 1979Abstract Essential goods required for the proper maintenace of nerve cells are manufactured in the cell body. They are carried down in the axonal extensions of the nerve cell by means of axoplasmic transport. This review focuses on some of the characteristics of this transport process.

Active polysomes in the axoplasm of the squid giant axon
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 1991AbstractAxons and axon terminals are widely believed to lack the capacity to synthesize proteins, relying instead on the delivery of proteins made in the perikaryon. In agreement with this view, axoplasmic proteins synthesized by the isolated giant axon of the squid are believed to derive entirely from periaxonal glial cells. However, squid axoplusm is

Role of the microtrabecular lattice in axoplasmic transport
Vision Research, 1981Abstract High voltage electron microscopy (HVEM) stereo images of whole mounted cells have revealed that the cytoplasmic ground substance comprises a three-dimensional lattice of slender strands from 4 to 10 nm dia. (termed microtrabeculae). The lattice, in effect, forms an integral cytoskeletal component that cross-links other filamentous elements ...

Neuromuscular blockade with anti‐axoplasmic antibodies
Neurology, 1977In the process of developing an immunopharmacologic method for identifying a "trophic" protein released from motor nerve terminals, a soluble fraction of peripheral nerve axoplasm was prepared. An attempt was made to eliminate contaminating myelin and basic protein. Antibodies were produced to soluble nerve proteins in all sheep immunized. On boosting,

Developments in neurochemistry related to axoplasmic transport
Neurochemistry International, 1989Fast transport of labeled proteins in vertebrate nerve and the particle movement seen in the axoplasm of giant fibers with video microscopy share basic properties. They are both dependent on oxidative metabolism providing ATP to drive transport with the microtubules acting as the "rails" for transport.
