Anatolian ground squirrel (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) retina: Comparative expression of synaptophysin, NeuN, calbindin‐D28k, parvalbumin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and Iba‐1 during pre‐hibernation and hibernation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hibernation induces significant molecular and cellular adaptations in the retina to maintain function under reduced metabolic conditions. This study aimed to investigate the expression of neuronal, synaptic, and glial markers in the retina of Spermophilus xanthoprymnus during pre‐hibernation and hibernation periods using immunohistochemical ...

Altered Primary Somatosensory Neuron Development in a Pten Heterozygous Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social interactions, repetitive behaviors, and hyper‐ or hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli. The cellular mechanisms underlying the emergence of abnormal sensory sensitivity in ASD are not fully understood.

How Growth Cones Sense Extracellular Cues and Drive Neuronal Migration

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Migrating neurons and growing axons utilize structurally and functionally similar growth cones to detect guidance cues. Shared receptors and signaling pathways mediate cytoskeletal reorganization to direct movement. This conserved mechanism underlies both neuronal migration and axon extension, providing insights into neuronal development and potential ...

Descending motor circuitry required for NT-3 mediated locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury in mice

Nature Communications, 2019
Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) plays a key role in the growth, development, and function of the nervous system. Here the authors show that NT-3-induced propriospino-motoneuron circuit reorganization is critical for locomotor recovery in mice following spinal cord

Polylactic-co-glycolic acid microspheres containing three neurotrophic factors promote sciatic nerve repair after injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
A variety of neurotrophic factors have been shown to repair the damaged peripheral nerve. However, in clinical practice, nerve growth factor, neurotrophin-3 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor are all peptides or proteins that may be rapidly ...

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Genetic Association between Neurotrophin-3 Polymorphisms and Alzheimer's Disease in Japanese Patients

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra, 2013
Background: Some polymorphisms of the neurotrophin family have previously been investigated as candidate genes for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, we examined whether neurotrophin-3 (NTF-3) polymorphisms are genetic risk factors in ...

Peripheral Nerve Injury-Induced Astrocyte Activation in Spinal Ventral Horn Contributes to Nerve Regeneration

Neural Plasticity, 2018
Accumulating evidences suggest that peripheral nerve injury (PNI) may initiate astrocytic responses in the central nervous system (CNS). However, the response of astrocytes in the spinal ventral horn and its potential role in nerve regeneration after PNI

Combinatorial expression of glial transcription factors induces Schwann cell‐specific gene expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Schwann cells provide peripheral nerve trophic support, myelinate axons, and assist in repair. However, Schwann cell repair capacity is limited by chronic injury, disease, and aging. Schwann cell reprogramming is a cellular conversion strategy that could provide a renewable cell supply to repair injured nerves.
