Alginate enhances elongation of early regenerating axons in spinal cord of young rats.

TL;DR: It is suggested that alginate contributed to reducing the barrier composed of connective tissues and reactive astrocytic processes, and served as a scaffold for the outgrowth of regenerating axons and elongation of astroCytic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nerve cell differentiation in vitro

TL;DR: The differentiation of cultured neurons from 4- and 8-day chick spinal ganglia has been studied when the nerve cell bodies rest on plastic, gelatin, glial cells, and heart fibroblasts, and when conditioned media are present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal Cell Adhesion Molecules and Cytotactin Are Colocalized at the Node of Ranvier

TL;DR: Findings are consistent with the hypothesis that surface modulation of neuronal CAMs mediated by signals shared between neurons and glia may be necessary for establishing and maintaining the nodes of Ranvier.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of insulin-like growth factors in peripheral nerve regeneration

TL;DR: Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) gene expression is correlated with synapse formation during development and regeneration and IGFs are now identified as the first soluble nerve- and muscle-derived neurotrophic factors found to regulate the rate of peripheral nerve regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regeneration of lesioned rat optic nerve fibers is improved after neutralization of myelin-associated neurite growth inhibitors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the ability of postnatal rat optic nerve fibers to regenerate within the CNS microenvironment under two conditions: axonal die-back has to be prevented with appropriate neurotrophic factors, and neurite growth inhibitory components, in particular those associated with CNS oligodendrocytes and myelin, have to be inactivated.
