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.

What's the Function of Connexin 32 in the Peripheral Nervous System? [PDF]
, 2018 Connexin 32 (Cx32) is a fundamental protein in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) as its mutations cause the X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT1X), the second most common form of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy and a demyelinating

Transplantation of Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor-Expressing Adult Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells Promotes Remyelination and Functional Recovery after SpinalCord Injury [PDF]
, 2010 Demyelination contributes to the dysfunction after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). We explored whether the combination of neurotrophic factors and transplantation of adult rat spinal cord oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) could enhance ...

Co-cultures with stem cell-derived human sensory neurons reveal regulators of peripheral myelination [PDF]
, 2017 Effective bidirectional signalling between axons and Schwann cells is essential for both the development and maintenance of peripheral nerve function. We have established conditions by which human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neurons can

Exploration, EarlyView.Targeting mitochondrial dysfunction presents a potential therapeutic approach for treating spinal cord injury. We have successfully designed and synthesized a functional Se@NADH nanodrug system. This system offers neuroprotective and neuroregenerative benefits by modulating mitochondrial function and neutralizing reactive oxygen species, thereby ...

Extent and mechanism of sealing in transected giant axons of squid and earthworms [PDF]
, 1994 Transected axons are often assumed to seal at their cut ends by the formation of continuous membrane barriers that allow for the restoration of function in the axonal stumps.
