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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transplanted nerve cells with artificially stretched axons may act as “jumper cables” to guide and accelerate axon regeneration across nerve lesions ... “It’s the support cells that are ...

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 ...
