Glial cells outnumber neurons in the human ... myelin proteins that inhibit axonal sprouting and regeneration. NGR mutants exhibit a longer critical period, in which ocular dominance columns ...

“We found that glia have a metabolic switch associated with glucose metabolism that when triggered reverses inhibitory effects on growth and promotes axon regeneration,” commented Shuxin ...

Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and ...

Schwann cells (a variety of glial cell) in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) provide factors that contribute to the regeneration of the axons whereas the glia of the CNS do not have such a ...

Evaluation of novel targets for retinal ganglion cell axon regeneration Researchers are searching ... Novel activators of regeneration in Muller glia Researchers are investigating exogenous and ...

For a long time, the study of axon damage and regeneration in SCI has been constrained ... showcased the ability to visualize the interaction of glia-nodes in the spinal cord under physiological ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, the peripheral nervous system has an astonishing capacity for regeneration ... by glial cells. These cells, which are known as Schwann cells, envelop the axons ...

“Understanding factors that mediate the regeneration of neurons and the growth of axons is crucial for the development of ... Novel activators of regeneration in Muller glia (EY027265-01) Principal ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous ... a fatty material that wraps around a portion of the nerve cell — called the axon — to insulate them and enable faster electrical ...

When a nerve is damaged, glial cells produce the protein neuregulin1 and thereby promote the regeneration of nerve ... by neurons and is localised on axons where it acts as an important signal ...
