Regeneration of Auditory Neurons in the Mammalian Cochlea through Direct Cellular Reprograming

Neurofilament antibodies and spiral ganglion neurons of the mammalian cochlea.

The spiral ganglia of the cat, gerbil, mouse, rat, and human were immunohistochemically stained with various monoclonal neurofilament antibodies. Three antibodies to the 200-kD neurofilament protein (R-3, Dräger et al., '84; ICN anti-200, clone NE14, Debus et al., '83; RT-97, Wood and Anderton, '81) labeled the somata of type II spiral ganglion neurons but not those of type I ganglion neurons. ...

Cellular Mechanisms of Mammalian Liver Regeneration

ABSTRACT CELLULAR MECHANISMS OF MAMMALIAN LIVER REGENERATION Kilangsungla Yanger Ben Z. Stanger The liver is an essential organ that aids in metabolic processes, protein synthesis and detoxification of harmful substances. As the centre for detoxification, the liver is able to compensate for this routine damage with its robust regenerative ability. All vertebrate livers, for example, can make up...

Nogo in the Mammalian cochlea.

HYPOTHESIS Different members of the Nogo system are expressed in the mammalian cochlea. BACKGROUND The protein Nogo has gained a lot of attention during the last couple of years because it inhibits neurite outgrowth in the adult central nervous system. In contrast to the central nervous system, very little is known regarding the expression and possible function of the Nogo system within the i...

Patterning of the mammalian cochlea.

The mammalian cochlea is sophisticated in its function and highly organized in its structure. Although the anatomy of this sense organ has been well documented, the molecular mechanisms underlying its development have remained elusive. Information generated from mutant and knockout mice in recent years has increased our understanding of cochlear development and physiology. This article discusse...
