Analysis of the C/EBP family of transcription factors in neuronal repair [PDF]
, 2009 PhDNeurons within the peripheral nervous system (PNS) have a remarkable ability to repair themselves after injury; however, neurons within the central nervous system (CNS) do not spontaneously regenerate.

Mice lacking protease nexin-1 show delayed structural and functional recovery after sciatic nerve crush [PDF]
, 2007 Multiple molecular mechanisms influence nerve regeneration. Because serine proteases were shown to affect peripheral nerve regeneration, we performed nerve crush experiments to study synapse reinnervation in adult mice lacking the serpin protease nexin-1

Nerve cell differentiation in hydra requires two signals [PDF]
, 1986 Endogenous signals controlling nerve cell commitment in hydra were investigated using an assay for committed nerve precursors. Extracts of hydra tissue were prepared and tested for their ability to induce nerve cell commitment.

Preclinical study of peripheral nerve regeneration using nerve guidance conduits based on polyhydroxyalkanaotes [PDF]
, 2021 Nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are used as an alternative to the “gold standard” nerve autografting, preventing the need for surgical intervention required to harvest autologous nerves.

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 ...

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
