Advances and Pitfalls of Cell Therapy in Metabolic Leukodystrophies
Cell Transplantation, 2013 Leukodystrophies are a group of disorders characterized by myelin dysfunction, either at the level of myelin formation or maintenance, that affect the central nervous system (CNS) and also in some cases, to a lesser extent, the peripheral nervous system (

Non-Muscle Myosin II in Axonal Cell Biology: From the Growth Cone to the Axon Initial Segment
Cells, 2020 By binding to actin filaments, non-muscle myosin II (NMII) generates actomyosin networks that hold unique contractile properties. Their dynamic nature is essential for neuronal biology including the establishment of polarity, growth cone formation and ...

Neurotrophic factors and corneal nerve regeneration [PDF]
, 2017 The cornea has unique features that make it a useful model for regenerative medicine studies. It is an avascular, transparent, densely innervated tissue and any pathological changes can be easily detected by slit lamp examination.

The Role of Spastin in Axon Biology
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Neurons are highly polarized cells with elaborate shapes that allow them to perform their function. In neurons, microtubule organization—length, density, and dynamics—are essential for the establishment of polarity, growth, and transport. A mounting body

Transthyretin Promotes Axon Growth via Regulation of Microtubule Dynamics and Tubulin Acetylation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Transthyretin (TTR), a plasma and cerebrospinal fluid protein, increases axon growth and organelle transport in sensory neurons. While neurons extend their axons, the microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton is crucial for the segregation of functional compartments
