Neurofilaments and Neurofilament Proteins in Health and Disease.
SUMMARYNeurofilaments (NFs) are unique among tissue-specific classes of intermediate filaments (IFs) in being heteropolymers composed of four subunits (NF-L [neurofilament light]; NF-M [neurofilament middle]; NF-H [neurofilament heavy]; and α-internexin ...

Histological markers in nasal mucosa of patients with Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Neuropathological changes such as dystrophic neurites and the presence of abnormal tau protein in the olfactory system, including primary sensory cells and nerve fibres have previously been demonstrated in nasal mucosa tissue of patients with Alzheimer's

Time course analysis of sensory axon regeneration in vivo by directly tracing regenerating axons
Most current studies quantify axon regeneration by immunostaining regeneration-associated proteins, representing indirect measurement of axon lengths from both sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia and motor neurons in the spinal cord.

Advances in stem cell therapy for sensory nerve injury
Sensory nerves belong to the afferent nerve part of the peripheral nervous system. Their role is to accept the stimuli inside and outside the body and transmit them to the center nerve system to form sensations or reflexes.

Integrating diverse datasets improves developmental enhancer prediction [PDF]
Gene-regulatory enhancers have been identified by many lines of evidence, including evolutionary conservation, regulatory protein binding, chromatin modifications, and DNA sequence motifs. To integrate these different approaches, we developed EnhancerFinder, a novel method for predicting developmental enhancers and their tissue specificity ...

The agrin gene codes for a family of basal lamina proteins that differ in function and distribution [PDF]
We isolated two cDNAs that encode isoforms of agrin, the basal lamina protein that mediates the motor neuron-induced aggregation of acetylcholine receptors on muscle fibers at the neuromuscular junction.

Wallerian degeneration and nerve regeneration after injury are complex processes involving many genes, proteins and cytokines. After different peripheral nerve injuries the regeneration rate can differ.

Upon trauma, the adult murine peripheral nervous system (PNS) displays a remarkable degree of spontaneous anatomical and functional regeneration. To explore extrinsic mechanisms of neural repair, we carried out single-cell analysis of naïve mouse sciatic

Electrothermal equivalent three-dimensional Finite Element Model of a single neuron [PDF]
Objective: We propose a novel approach for modelling the inter-dependence of electrical and mechanical phenomena in nervous cells, by using electro-thermal equivalences in finite element (FE) analysis so that existing thermo-mechanical tools can be applied. Methods: First, the equivalence between electrical and thermal properties of the nerve materials

Therapeutic Potential of Extracellular Vesicles for the Treatment of Nerve Disorders
The use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as cell free therapy is a promising approach to stimulate tissue regeneration including that of the nervous system.
