It turned out Notch signaling is essential for glia regeneration and maintenance in planarians—no glial cells were found in the animal following RNAi, while the differentiation of other types of ...

Glial cells, which can be divided into several types, have various important functions, such as providing structural support, growth support, and insulation around the axon. Why must glial cells ...

In 30 May Nature, Tadzia GrandPre and colleagues from Yale University School of Medicine, show that antagonizing the Nogo-66 receptor (NgR) can promote axonal regeneration following spinal cord ...

Regeneration and repair in the nervous ... This process happens more readily with axons, synapses, neurons and glia in the peripheral nervous system. CNS injuries cause persistent deficits.

This capacity of regeneration is mainly attributable to ... After injuries, Schwann cells become the 'repair task force' that restores axons The peripheral nervous system largely owes its ability ...

Rasband's team is discovering the functional organization of axons in health as well as disease or injury ... clustering of proteins at nodes requires the influence of myelinating glia, but ...
