On axoplasmic pressure waves and their possible role in nerve impulse propagation
, 2010 It is suggested that the propagation of the action potential is accompanied by an axoplasmic pressure pulse propagating in the axoplasm along the axon length.

Maintenance and degradation of proteins in intact and severed axons: Implications for the mechanism of long-term survival of anucleate crayfish axons [PDF]
, 1995 Protein maintenance and degradation are examined in the severed distal (anucleate) portions of crayfish medial giant axons (MGAs), which remain viable for over 7 months following axotomy.

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.

Oxidative denaturation of Cu/Zn‐superoxide dismutase associated with neurodegenerative diseases
Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Misfolding of mutant Cu/Zn‐superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is a well‐established pathological feature of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). While amino acid substitutions in mutant SOD1 destabilize its structure and promote misfolding, oxidation has also been implicated in the pathological alterations of wild‐type SOD1, particularly in ...

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 1401-1421, October 1, 2025.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.
