Such deterioration and loss of function of nerve fibers, or axonal degeneration, also occur in traumatic nerve injury and neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and ALS.

Wallerian degeneration is an active program tightly associated with axonal degeneration, required for axonal regeneration and functional recovery after nerve damage. Here we provide a functional ...

Current PNI repair options, whether an autograft or NGT, are unable to create a suitable environment for axonal regeneration in cases of major nerve trauma.

In animal models of a totally crushed peripheral nerve, the damaged axons are broken down, allowing healthy ones to regrow. But humans rarely suffer complete axonal damage. Instead, axons tend to ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures ...

Now they observed plenty of importin beta1 in the cell body, but none in the axons. With the axonal segment of RNA knocked out of the recipe for importin beta1, a mouse embryo still had the importin ...

A key to their investigation was to elucidate the critical involvement of microglia in axonal degeneration post-spinal cord axon injury.

N-acetylaspartate/creatine ratio is significantly lower in the brains of MS patients with increased fatigue, indicating more axonal damage and poorer nerve functioning.

New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. It develops from a genetic mutation that causes your nerve cells to stop functioning.

"Disruptions in axonal glucose metabolism due to oligodendrocyte dysfunction could lead to nerve damage, which is a concern in aging and several neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple ...
