Terminal sprouting in partially denervated muscle of the mouse: a scanning electron microscopic studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 563-571 - 1988
Kojun Torigoe
Terminal sprouting in the mouse gastrocnemius muscle was examined by scanning electron microscopy after partial denervation. After one of the two muscle nerves in the medial head was cut, terminal sprouts arose from the outer edge of the intact motor endplates and grew out onto a connective tissue layer on the muscle fibres. The sprouts were very slender along their length, although some had a var...... hiện toàn bộ
A giant nerve net with multi-effector synapses underlying epithelial adhesive strips in the mouth ofBeroë (Ctenophora)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 711-723 - 1995
Signhild Tamm, Sidney L. Tamm
We present ultrastructural evidence for the first known example of a giant nerve net in the phylum Ctenophora. The giant fibre system inBeroë underlies paired strips of adherent epithelial cells that run inside the lips. Interlocking actin-lined cell junctions between opposing adhesive strips keepBeroë's large mouth closed while the ctenophore searches for prey. The giant neurons, up to 6–8 μm in ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Nogo receptor, its ligands and axonal regeneration in the spinal cord; A reviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 93-120 - 2002
D. Hunt, R.S. Coffin, P.N. Anderson
At least three proteins present in CNS myelin, Nogo, MAG and OMgp are capable of causing growth cone collapse and inhibiting neurite outgrowth in vitro. Surprisingly, Nogo and OMgp are also strongly expressed by many neurons (including neocortical projection cells). Nogo expression is increased by some cells at the borders of CNS lesion sites and by cells in injured peripheral nerves, but Nogo and...... hiện toàn bộ
Survival, proliferation and morphological specialization of mouse Schwann cells in a serum-free, fully defined mediumSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 683-697 - 1980
S. D. Skaper, M. Manthorpe, R. Adler, S. Varon
Neonatal mouse dorsal root ganglionic (DRG) cell dissociates were cultured in a synthetic medium with horse serum or the serum-free supplement N1 (insulin, transferrin, progesterone, putrescine, selenium). Serum-supplemented cultures with added nerve growth factor (NGF) yielded neurons, small flat and spindle cells (Schwann) and large flat cells (fibroblastic elements). However, in serum-free, N1-...... hiện toàn bộ
Double myelination of axons in the sympathetic nervous system of the mouse. II. Mechanisms of formationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 263-276 - 1988
Grahame J. Kidd, John W. Heath
The phenomenon termed ‘double myelination’, present in sympathetic nerve of normal adult rats and mice, comprises regions of a myelinated axon which are concentrically ensheathed by additional (outer) myelinating Schwann cells. Evidence has been presented that in some instances the outer Schwann cell fails to make contact with an axon, yet its myelin sheath characteristically remains ultrastructur...... hiện toàn bộ
Ballooning of myelin sheaths in normally aged macaquesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 27 - Trang 605-614 - 1998
Martin L. Feldman, Alan Peters
In aged animal brains, a variety of holes are formed in the neuropil. One type of hole, here designated as the myelin balloon, is an abnormality of the myelin sheath and is found in a number of diverse sites in the brain. Profiles of myelin balloons display rather smoothly rounded peripheral contours and typically range up to 10 μm in diameter, although exceptionally large examples may be twice th...... hiện toàn bộ
Glial cell responses, complement and apolipoprotein J expression following axon injury in the neonatal ratSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 28 - Trang 559-570 - 1999
Ran Tao, Håkan Aldskogius
Immature motoneurons are highly susceptible to degeneration following axon injury. The response of perineuronal glia to axon injury may significantly influence neuronal survival and axon regeneration. We have examined the central reactions to neonatal facial nerve transection with emphasis on the expression of complement component C3 (C3) and the multifunctional apolipoprotein J (ApoJ). Axotomy wa...... hiện toàn bộ
