A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]
, 2012 Human primary muscle cells cultured aneurally in monolayer rarely contract spontaneously because, in the absence of a nerve component, cell differentiation is limited and motor neuron stimulation is missing(1). These limitations hamper the in vitro study

The roles of microRNAs in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury is a devastating medical disorder with poor prognosis that is associated with several pathophysiological conditions. However, multiple stimuli can trigger SCII, so the underlying mechanism of this pathology has not

Dysuria due to discospondylitis and intervertebral disc herniation in a male alpaca (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Dysuria in camelids is usually associated with the presence of lower urinary tract disease such as urolithiasis. As another differential diagnosis, urine retention may be caused by neurological disturbances resulting from infections of the ...

Distribution of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactivity in the CNS of the common carp cyprinus carpio [PDF]
, 2015 Cholinergic systems play a role in basic cerebral functions and a number of human neurodegenerative disorders. Mechanisms involved in human brain diseases, including Parkinson's disease (1), are often approached by using fish models, especially cyprinids,

Aberrant Autophagic Response in The Muscle of A Knock-in Mouse Model of Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy [PDF]
, 2015 Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is characterized by loss of motoneurons and sensory neurons, accompanied by atrophy of muscle cells. SBMA is due to an androgen receptor containing a polyglutamine tract (ARpolyQ) that misfolds and aggregates ...
