Axon caliber related to neurofilaments and microtubules in sciatic nerve fibers of rats and mice.

TLDR
A series of regression analyses indicated that axon caliber correlates best with the sum of the number of neurofilaments and microtubules per fiber, which was only slightly better than that for neurofilament alone.

Cerebrospinal fluid and plasma biomarkers in Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: The rationales behind and the diagnostic performances of the core cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers for AD, namely total tau, phosphorylated tau and the 42 amino acid form of amyloid-β are presented.

CSF and blood biomarkers for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The core CSF biomarkers of neurodegeneration (T-tau, P-tAU, and Aβ42), CSF NFL, and plasma T-t Tau were strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease and the core biomarkers were strong associated with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease.

A Structural Scaffolding of Intermediate Filaments in Health and Disease

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed here that intermediate filaments provide a flexible intracellular scaffolding whose function is to structure cytoplasm and to resist stresses externally applied to the cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

The slow component of axonal transport. Identification of major structural polypeptides of the axon and their generality among mammalian neurons.

TL;DR: The demonstration on SDS gels that the slow component of axonal transport is composed of a small number of polypeptides which have identical molecular weights in neurons from different mammalian species suggests that these polypePTides comprise fundamental structures of vertebrate neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local modulation of neurofilament phosphorylation, axonal caliber, and slow axonal transport by myelinating Schwann cells.

TL;DR: Close intercellular contacts between myelinating Schwann cells and axons modulate a kinase-phosphatase system acting on neurofilaments and possibly other substrates that sculpts the axon-altering functional architecture, electrical properties, and neuronal morphologies.

A new epoxy embedment for electron microscopy.

TL;DR: A new epoxy embedding mixture has been developed utilizing Maraglas 655 and Cardolite NC-513 with benzyldimethylamine (BDMA) as a curing agent that permits cellular preservation comparable to that obtained with Epon 812, ease of preparation of tissues, a wide range of miscibility, low viscosity, and, most important, easy of sectioning on a Porter-Blum microtome.

Microtubules and filaments in the axons and astrocytes of early postnatal rat optic nerves.

TL;DR: Observed changes in the population of microtubules and filaments within the cytoplasm of maturing axons and astrocytes have been studied during the early postnatal development of rat optic nerves suggest that the Filaments within axonsand astroCytes may be formed by the breakdown ofmicrotubules.

Relation between the number of myelin lamellae and axon circumference in fibers of vagus and sciatic nerves of mice.

TL;DR: Nerve fiber populations of the vagus and sciatic nerves of mice were classified according to the number of myelin lamellae present in the sheaths to provide a more sensitive procedure for the analysis of individual fibers and better control over the technical factors involved in tissue processing.
