Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

Background Recovery of function from traumatic nerve injury depends on the ability of severed axons to grow/regenerate back to their target tissues. This is achieved by successfully crossing the lesion site where physical impact severed axons, determined

The Gene for Slow Wallerian Degeneration (Wlds) Is Also Protective against Vincristine Neuropathy
Neurological diseases are frequently associated with axonal degeneration, which leads to dysfunction though separation of neurons from their targets. The mechanisms of axonal degeneration are largely unknown and in many cases are independent of those ...

Sensory and motor nerve fibers of peripheral nerves have different anatomies and regeneration functions after injury. To gain a clear understanding of the biological processes behind these differences, we used a labeling technique termed isobaric tags ...

Relationship of acute axonal damage, Wallerian degeneration, and clinical disability in multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Background: Axonal damage and loss substantially contribute to the incremental accumulation of clinical disability in progressive multiple sclerosis. Here, we assessed the amount of Wallerian degeneration in brain tissue of multiple sclerosis patients in

Hot Cross Bun Sign Following Bilateral Pontine Infarction: A Case Report [PDF]
The hot cross bun sign is characterized by cruciform T2 signal hyperintensity in the pons and has been reported to be a specific but not pathognomic for multiple system atrophy.

Dynamic and Objective Quantification of Facial Nerve Palsy Using Smartphone‐Based 3D Facial Geometry
This prospective study evaluated smartphone‐captured high‐resolution 3D facial geometry in 99 patients with unilateral facial nerve palsy across 207 visits and 12 healthy volunteers. Dynamic motion features combined with machine learning accurately estimated signed continuous House–Brackmann severity and identified clinically significant palsy ...

Tracing of Neuronal Connections in the Human Brain by Magnetic Resonance Imaging in vivo [PDF]
Axon degeneration after disruption of fibre tracts in the mammalian nervous system is accompanied by myelin breakdown which leads to changes in its magnetic resonance properties.

Temperature Modulation Reveals Three Distinct Stages of Wallerian Degeneration [PDF]
After peripheral nerve transection, axons distal to the cut site rapidly degenerate, a process termed Wallerian degeneration. In wild-type mice the compound action potential (CAP) disappears by 3 d.
