Axon regeneration: Vaccinating against spinal cord injury
Myelin is a potent inhibitor of axon regeneration, but has been viewed as just one of many factors that prevent regeneration after injury. So it comes as a surprise that immunization against myelin has been found to allow extensive axon regeneration after injury, without apparent autoimmune-induced demyelination.
متن کاملSpinal Cord Injury and CNS Regeneration
Neurological rehabilitation is expanding its scope to include restoration of function through regeneration. However, this complex task will require multi-stage interventions, some easier to achieve than others. Of repair strategies on the horizon, harnessing the potential of neural stem cells already present in the CNS and placed there by transplantation appears promising. In fact, using stem c...
متن کاملTargeting sensory axon regeneration in adult spinal cord.
Extensive regeneration of sensory axons into the spinal cord can be achieved experimentally after dorsal root injury, but no effort has been made to target regenerating axons and restore a normal lamina-specific projection pattern. Ectopic axon growth is potentially associated with functional disorders such as chronic pain and autonomic dysreflexia. This study was designed to target regeneratin...
متن کاملSensory axon regeneration: rebuilding functional connections in the spinal cord.
Functional regeneration within the adult spinal cord remains a formidable task. A major barrier to regeneration of sensory axons into the spinal cord is the dorsal root entry zone. This region displays many of the inhibitory features characteristic of other central nervous system injuries. Several experimental treatments, including inactivation of inhibitory molecules (such as Nogo and chondroi...
متن کاملAutophagy induction stabilizes microtubules and promotes axon regeneration after spinal cord injury.
Remodeling of cytoskeleton structures, such as microtubule assembly, is believed to be crucial for growth cone initiation and regrowth of injured axons. Autophagy plays important roles in maintaining cellular homoeostasis, and its dysfunction causes neuronal degeneration. The role of autophagy in axon regeneration after injury remains speculative. Here we demonstrate a role of autophagy in regu...
