AXOPLASMIC TRANSPORT IN THE CRAYFISH NERVE CORD [PDF]
Axoplasmic proteins in the crayfish nerve cord were labeled by the incorporation of high specific activity 3 H-leucine that was injected into one of the abdominal ganglia. The labeled proteins moved caudad as a sharply defined peak at 1.1 mm/day.

Nano‐pulling induces stabilization, reorganization, and reorientation of the microtubule network. The nucleus of stretched cells experiences increased lateral tension, becomes more spherical, and develops surface grooves. At the level of gene expression regulation, changes in nuclear morphology induce global chromatin remodeling, leading to reduced ...

The evolution of muscle spindles
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.

Axonal transport in a peripheral diabetic neuropathy model: sex-dimorphic features
Background Disruption of axonal transport plays a pivotal role in diabetic neuropathy. A sex-dimorphism exists in the incidence and symptomatology of diabetic neuropathy; however, no studies so far have addressed sex differences in axonal motor proteins ...

Pseudophosphorylation of tau at S422 enhances SDS-stable dimer formation and impairs both anterograde and retrograde fast axonal transport [PDF]
In Alzheimer's disease (AD), tau undergoes numerous modifications, including increased phosphorylation at serine-422 (pS422). In the human brain, pS422 tau protein is found in prodromal AD, correlates well with cognitive decline and neuropil thread ...

A Facile Strategy to Restore the Optic Nerve Functionality Using an Injectable Conducting Hydrogel
An injectable conductive polymer hydrogel from poly (3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is developed to facilitate the recovery of electrophysiological function in injured optic nerve. The hydrogel can be injected directly at the injury site and spontaneously gel in place.

Glutamatergic Reinnervation and Assembly of Glutamatergic Synapses in Adult Rat Skeletal Muscle Occurs at Cholinergic Endplates [PDF]
After denervation of adult rat abdominal muscles, the postsynaptic apparatus of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) retains its original architecture and clustering of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs).

Abstract INTRODUCTION We previously demonstrated that regulating mitochondria‐associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes (MAMs) affects axonal Aβ generation in a well‐characterized three‐dimensional (3D) neural Alzheimer's disease (AD) model. MAMs vary in thickness and length, impacting their functions.
