Neurofilaments and Neurofilament Proteins in Health and Disease [PDF]
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 or peripherin), each having different domain structures and functions.

Immunomodulation stimulates the innervation of engineered tooth organ [PDF]
The sensory innervation of the dental mesenchyme is essential for tooth function and protection. Sensory innervation of the dental pulp is mediated by axons originating from the trigeminal ganglia and is strictly regulated in time. Teeth can develop from

Extra Axonal Neurofilaments Do Not Exacerbate Disease Caused by Mutant Cu,Zn Superoxide Dismutase
A recent report by T. L. Williamson et al. (1998, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95, 9631–9636) showed that disease caused by expression of mutant Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in mice was slowed down by disruption of the neurofilament light (NF-L) gene.

Emerging Trends of Nanotechnology towards Picotechnology: Energy and Biomolecules [PDF]
In nature, metal oxide particles display their existence at the level of picomolecules in solution state and bioactive states in the body. We present evidence of picomolar behavior of molecules different than nanomolar behavior of particles.

Time-related morphometric studies of neurofilaments in brain contusions
In forensic pathology age determination of injuries is of key importance. The purpose of the study was to analyze morphometrically changes in neurofilaments following the brain contusion and relate them to the length of the time of survival.

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

NEUROFILAMENTS AS A POTENTIAL BIOMARKER IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE [PDF]
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by demyelination, axonal damage and loss of neurons.
