Axonal regeneration proceeds through specific axonal fusion in transected C. elegans neurons.
Functional neuronal recovery following injury arises when severed axons reconnect with their targets. In Caenorhabditis elegans following laser-induced axotomy, the axon still attached to the cell body is able to regrow and reconnect with its separated distal fragment. Here we show that reconnection of separated axon fragments during regeneration of C. elegans mechanosensory neurons occurs thro...
متن کاملConditioning lesions enhance axonal regeneration of descending brain neurons in spinal-cord-transected larval lamprey.
In larval lamprey, with increasing recovery times after a transection of the rostral spinal cord, there is a gradual recovery of locomotor behavior, and descending brain neurons regenerate their axons for progressively greater distances below the transection site. In the present study, spinal cord "conditioning lesions" (i.e., transections) were performed in the spinal cord at 30% body length (...
متن کاملAxonal regeneration through acellular muscle grafts.
The management of peripheral nerve injury remains a major clinical problem. Progress in this field will almost certainly depend upon manipulating the pathophysiological processes which are triggered by traumatic injuries. One of the most important determinants of functional outcome after the reconstruction of a transected peripheral nerve is the length of the gap between proximal and distal ner...
متن کاملHypergravity hinders axonal development of motor neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans
As space flight becomes more accessible in the future, humans will be exposed to gravity conditions other than our 1G environment on Earth. Our bodies and physiology, however, are adapted for life at 1G gravity. Altering gravity can have profound effects on the body, particularly the development of muscles, but the reasons and biology behind gravity's effect are not fully known. We asked whethe...
متن کاملInhibition of Axonal Regeneration*
Because axonal damage and loss are frequent phenomena of multiple sclerosis and other types of neurodegenerative diseases, and because the effects can be devastating clinically, attention has been focused on repair to axons. However, axon regeneration appears to be inhibited via a variety of possible cellular pathways and molecules. In the following article, several of these pathways are examin...
