Cytokines in neural regeneration

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1992
Growth factors with already established multiple effects on non-neural cells continue to be of considerable interest to researchers with regard to the nervous system, where regulation of cell maintenance and plasticity in relation to lesion and regeneration is part of their functional repertoire.

Neural Regeneration: Lessons from Regenerating and Non-regenerating Systems

Molecular Neurobiology, 2012
One only needs to see a salamander regrowing a lost limb to become fascinated by regeneration. However, the lack of robust axonal regeneration models for which good cellular and molecular tools exist has hampered progress in the field. Nevertheless, the nervous system has been revealed to be an excellent model to investigate regeneration.

Neural Regeneration

2012
Regeneration of the nervous system requires either the repair or replacement of nerve cells that have been damaged by injury or disease. While lower organisms possess extensive capacity for neural regeneration, evolutionarily higher organisms including humans are limited in their ability to regenerate nerve cells, posing significant issues for the ...

Approaches for Neural Tissue Regeneration

Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2013
There is currently no treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases. While spinal cord injury has no treatment either, nerve injuries are being treated with autologous grafts, a procedure that in turn translates into a loss of function in the donor area.

Neural regeneration in gastropod molluscs

Progress in Neurobiology, 1995
Snails recover function following a variety of neural injuries. They grow new tentacles with associated tentacle ganglia, selectively reinnervate peripheral targets, repair central connections and may even replace lost neurons and ganglia. The plasticity revealed in their responses to neural injury is an extreme expression of the adaptability observed ...

How the Neural Retina Regenerates

2000
The rules that govern cellular behavior during development and regeneration of tissues are complex and enigmatic, but substantial progress is being made toward understanding the molecular basis of proliferation and differentiation. Although most of the recent mechanistic insights have been gained from studies of embryonic development, the capacity of ...

A regenerating spiking neural network

Neural Networks, 2005
Due to their distributed architecture, artificial neural networks often show a graceful performance degradation to the loss of few units or connections. Living systems also display an additional source of fault-tolerance obtained through distributed processes of self-healing: defective components are actively regenerated.

Neural Modulation of Regenerating Adrenal Transplants

Endocrine Research, 2000
In addition to control of adrenal cortical steroidogenesis by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and angiotensin 11, the intact rat adrenal gland is extensively innervated by a variety of nerve fibers that have been implicated in modulating adrenal cortical function (reviewed in 1).
