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

Frontiers 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

ATF3 upregulation in glia during Wallerian degeneration: differential expression in peripheral nerves and CNS white matter [PDF]

, 2004
Background: Many changes in gene expression occur in distal stumps of injured nerves but the transcriptional control of these events is poorly understood.

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.

Early axonal loss accompanied by impaired endocytosis, abnormal axonal transport, and decreased microtubule stability occur in the model of Krabbe's disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 2014
In Krabbe's disease (KD), a leukodystrophy caused by β-galactosylceramidase deficiency, demyelination and a myelin-independent axonopathy contributes to the severe neuropathology.

ATP Released by Injured Neurons Activates Schwann Cells [PDF]

, 2016
Injured nerve terminals of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) can regenerate. This remarkable and complex response is governed by molecular signals that are exchanged among the cellular components of this synapse: motor axon nerve terminal (MAT ...

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

Axonal growth arrests after an increased accumulation of Schwann cells expressing senescence markers and stromal cells in acellular nerve allografts [PDF]

, 2016
Acellular nerve allografts (ANAs) and other nerve constructs do not reliably facilitate axonal regeneration across long defects (>3 cm). Causes for this deficiency are poorly understood.

The Regulation of Axon Diameter: From Axonal Circumferential Contractility to Activity-Dependent Axon Swelling

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
In the adult nervous system axon caliber varies widely amongst different tracts. When considering a given axon, its diameter can further fluctuate in space and time, according to processes including the distribution of organelles and activity-dependent ...

Identification of hub genes related to the innate immune response activated during spinal cord injury

FEBS Open Bio, 2022
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Two major factors that hinder spinal cord repair are local inflammation and glial scar formation after SCI, and thus appropriate immunotherapy may alleviate damage.
