Clues from Crouzon: Insights into the potential role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of myelinated retinal nerve fibers. [PDF]

, 2016
PurposeWe present a case of bilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) in an individual with Crouzon syndrome, an inherited form of craniosynostosis caused by overactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2.

APPLICATION OF STEREOLOGICAL METHODS TO STUDY THE WHITE MATTER AND MYELINATED FIBERS THEREIN OF RAT BRAIN

Image Analysis and Stereology, 2011
An efficient and unbiased stereological method was applied to estimate the white matter volume, the total volume, total length and mean diameter of the myelinated fibers in the white matter and the total volume of the myelin sheaths in the white matter ...

Morphological Distribution Patterns and Neuroimmune Communication of Ganglia in Molly Fish (Poecilia sphenops, Valenciennes 1846)

Fishes, 2023
Twenty-four adult molly fish (Poecilia sphenops, Valenciennes 1846) were collected to study the morphology and distribution of ganglia using histological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopy and focusing on their relation to the immune cells ...

The structural and functional integrity of peripheral nerves depends on the glial-derived signal desert hedgehog [PDF]

, 2006
We show that desert hedgehog ( dhh), a signaling molecule expressed by Schwann cells, is essential for the structural and functional integrity of the peripheral nerve.

Acute effect of pore-forming Clostridium perfringens ε-toxin on compound action potentials of optic nerve of mouse [PDF]

, 2017
ε-Toxin is a pore forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D. It is synthesized as a less active prototoxin form that becomes fully active upon proteolytic activation. The toxin produces highly lethal enterotoxaemia in ruminants, has

Disengaging the Engine: Histone Deacetylases 1 and 2‐Mediated Acetylation of Hexokinase‐2 Regulates Energy Metabolism in Microglia Following Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that HDAC1/2 knockout in microglia alleviates neurological deficits, preserves white matter, and accelerates hematoma clearance after ICH. HDAC1/2 inhibition reduces HK2 acetylation, shifts metabolism from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation, reduces inflammation, and enhances phagocytosis.

Changes in myelinated fibers in the hippocampus of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: a stereological investigation

Folia Morphologica
Diabetes causes cognitive impairment, and the hippocampus is important for long-term and permanent memory function. However, the mechanism of their interaction is still unclear.

3D Neuro-electronic interface devices for neuromuscular control: Design studies and realisation steps [PDF]

, 1995
In order to design the shape and dimensions of new 3D multi-microelectrode information transducers properly, i. e. adapted to the scale of information delivery to and from peripheral nerve fibres, a number of studies were, and still are, being performed ...
