Nerve growth factor activates autophagy in Schwann cells to enhance myelin debris clearance and to expedite nerve regeneration

open access: yesTheranostics, 2020
Rationale: Autophagy in Schwann cells (SCs) is crucial for myelin debris degradation and clearance following peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays an important role in reconstructing peripheral nerve fibers and promoting axonal ...

Tissue Engineering Strategies for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
A peripheral nerve injury (PNI) has severe and profound effects on the life of a patient. The therapeutic approach remains one of the most challenging clinical problems.

Hyaluronic acid ameliorates intervertebral disc degeneration via promoting mitophagy activation

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Activation of mitophagy was considered to be a potential therapeutic strategy for intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). There was evidence suggesting that hyaluronic acid (HA) can protect mitochondria from oxidative stress in chondrocytes, but its ...

The interaction of stem cells and vascularity in peripheral nerve regeneration

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2021
The degree of nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injury can be altered by the microenvironment at the site of injury. Stem cells and vascularity are postulated to be a part of a complex pathway that enhances peripheral nerve regeneration; however,

The Actin-Binding Protein α-Adducin Is Required for Maintaining Axon Diameter

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
The actin-binding protein adducin was recently identified as a component of the neuronal subcortical cytoskeleton. Here, we analyzed mice lacking adducin to uncover the function of this protein in actin rings.

Growth factors-based therapeutic strategies and their underlying signaling mechanisms for peripheral nerve regeneration

open access: yesActa Pharmacologica Sinica, 2020
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI), one of the most common concerns following trauma, can result in a significant loss of sensory or motor function. Restoration of the injured nerves requires a complex cellular and molecular response to rebuild the functional

Peripheral Nerve Regeneration and Muscle Reinnervation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Injured peripheral nerves but not central nerves have the capacity to regenerate and reinnervate their target organs. After the two most severe peripheral nerve injuries of six types, crush and transection injuries, nerve fibers distal to the injury site

Identification of novel gene signatures and immune cell infiltration in intervertebral disc degeneration using bioinformatics analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the leading cause of lower back pain, and an overall understanding of the molecular mechanisms related to IDD is still lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore gene signatures and immune cell

Primary Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Rescue the Axonal Phenotype of Twitcher Mice

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2014
Krabbe's disease (KD) is a demyelinating disorder caused by the deficiency of lysosomal galactocerebrosi-dase (GALC), affecting both the central (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Advances and Pitfalls of Cell Therapy in Metabolic Leukodystrophies

open access: yesCell 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 (
