Effect of mechanical stimulation on tissue heterotopic ossification: an in vivo experimental study
Background: Heterotopic ossification of tendons and ligaments (HOTL) is a common clinical condition characterized by the absence of discernible features and a lack of effective treatment. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that mechanical stimulation

Hydrogen peroxide is a neuronal alarmin that triggers specific RNAs, local translation of Annexin A2, and cytoskeletal remodeling in Schwann cells [PDF]
Schwann cells are key players in neuro-regeneration: They sense "alarm" signals released by degenerating nerve terminals and differentiate toward a proregenerative phenotype, with phagocytosis of nerve debris and nerve guidance.

Spinal cord injury results in significant motor and sensory loss. In the experimental ventral root avulsion (VRA) model, the ventral (motor) roots are disconnected from the spinal cord surface, disrupting contact between spinal motoneurons and muscle ...

TRPV1 agonist, capsaicin, induces axon outgrowth after injury via Ca2+/PKA signaling [PDF]
Preconditioning nerve injuries activate a pro-regenerative program that enhances axon regeneration for most classes of sensory neurons. However, nociceptive sensory neurons and central nervous system neurons regenerate poorly.

Flow Cytometry Characterization and Analysis of Glial and Immune Cells from the Spinal Cord
Several protocols have been developed with the aim of characterizing glial and immune cells from the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, a small number of these protocols have demonstrated the ability to yield satisfactory results following ...

Neuropeptides Involved in Facial Nerve Regeneration
Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters act as intermediaries to transmit impulses from one neuron to another via a synapse. These neuropeptides are also related to nerve degeneration and regeneration during nerve damage.

Deficiency in monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) in mice delays regeneration of peripheral nerves following sciatic nerve crush. [PDF]
Peripheral nerve regeneration following injury occurs spontaneously, but many of the processes require metabolic energy. The mechanism of energy supply to axons has not previously been determined.

Linking Alpha-Synuclein to the Actin Cytoskeleton: Consequences to Neuronal Function
Alpha-Synuclein (αSyn), a protein highly enriched in neurons where it preferentially localizes at the pre-synapse, has been in the spotlight because its intraneuronal aggregation is a central phenomenon in Parkinson’s disease.

Background Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligaments (OPLL) is common disorder characterized by heterotopic ossification of the spinal ligaments. Mechanical stimulation (MS) plays an important role in OPLL.

Neuroscience of Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
Peripheral nerve injury involves complex molecular, cellular, and genetic events that help in ultimate regeneration of nerve. Some key factors are upregulated and some downregulated in the process of regeneration of nerve to attain almost perfect architecture.
