Migratory Cell Locomotion versus Nerve Axon Elongation
The effects of lanthanum ions (La(+++)) on the locomotion and adhesion of g lial cells and elongating nerve axons are reported. La(+++) increases adhesion of both glia and of nerve growth cones to a plastic substratum. La(+++) also markedly reduces glia locomotion, but it does not inhibit nerve elongation. Electron-opaque deposits are seen on the cell surface and within cytoplasmic vesicles of ...
متن کاملGanglion cell axon pathfinding in the retina and optic nerve.
The eye is a highly specialized structure that gathers and converts light information into neuronal signals. These signals are relayed along axons of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) to visual centers in the brain for processing. In this review, we discuss the pathfinding tasks RGC axons face during development and the molecular mechanisms known to be involved. The data at hand support the presenc...
متن کاملExploring Optic Nerve Axon Regeneration
BACKGROUND Traumatic optic nerve injury is a leading cause of irreversible blindness across the world and causes progressive visual impairment attributed to the dysfunction and death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). To date, neither pharmacological nor surgical interventions are sufficient to halt or reverse the progress of visual loss. Axon regeneration is critical for functional recovery of ...
متن کاملChemotactic response of nerve fiber elongation to nerve growth factor.
These studies seek to determine whether the locomotory behavior of the extending tip of growing nerve fibers exhibits chemotaxis to nerve growth factor (NGF). Sensory neurons from dissociated dorsal root gangha of chick embryos were cultured within semisolid agar matrices containing concentration gradients of NGF which diffused from an adjacent source. A preferential orientation of approximatel...
متن کاملDendrosomatic Sonic Hedgehog Signaling in Hippocampal Neurons Regulates Axon Elongation.
UNLABELLED The presence of Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and its signaling components in the neurons of the hippocampus raises a question about what role the Shh signaling pathway may play in these neurons. We show here that activation of the Shh signaling pathway stimulates axon elongation in rat hippocampal neurons. This Shh-induced effect depends on the pathway transducer Smoothened (Smo) and the tra...
