17 Citations | HSP27-negative small motor neurons were thus found to be more vulnerable to avulsion than HSP27-positive large motor neurons, suggesting that HSP27 may have protected the avulsed motor neurons from cell death. |
27 Citations | Furthermore, ES cell-derived motor neurons restore motor behavior when transplanted into animal models of motor dysfunction. |
39 Citations | The results demonstrate that axons of only motor neurons can restore denervated muscle. |
It shows that adult motor neurons can be isolated from in vivo models of motor neuron degeneration and evaluated on a single-cell basis. |

How does a neuroprotective agent work?4 answersNeuroprotective agents work by altering metabolic events and protecting neurons from damage. They can prevent complications and deterioration in patients undergoing surgical procedures or in intensive care. These agents act through various mechanisms, including inhibiting inflammatory processes and apoptosis, reducing oxidative stress, and controlling free radicals. One specific neuroprotective agent is a chemical compound that reduces cell calcium influx through a glutamate receptor inhibiting function, thus protecting cortical neurons from excitatory toxicity. Another neuroprotective agent is a medicinal compound that decouples neuronal nitric oxide synthase-postsynaptic density protein 95 (nNOS-PSD95), which can prevent neuronal damage. Overall, neuroprotective agents have different mechanisms of action but aim to prevent neuronal loss and improve functional outcomes in patients with central nervous system damage.
