TL;DR: Therapeutically, inhibition of the neuronal reaction to physical trauma may be a useful neuroprotective strategy in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a fundamentally different mode of action relying upon intercellular transfer from astrocytes to neurons, which in turn leads to uptake-dependent axonal regeneration and suggests that the protective functions of MT in the central nervous system should be widened to include extracellular and intra-neuronal roles.

TL;DR: Data indicate that dystrophic neurites may "mature" through neurofilament-abundant forms to the neurites containing the profoundly altered filaments labeled for tau, and suggest that beta-amyloid plaques are causing physical damage to surrounding axons.

TL;DR: In vivo evidence of both neuroregeneration and neuroprotection, taken together with the natural occurrence of EPO within the body and its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, suggests that it offers promise as a therapeutic agent for central nerve repair.

TL;DR: The high completion rate and level of engagement of participants across a broad spectrum of levels of education suggest that MOOCs can be successfully developed and delivered to students from diverse educational backgrounds.
