Genetic inhibition of CRMP2 phosphorylation at serine 522 promotes axonal regeneration after optic nerve injury. Scientific Reports , 2019; 9 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-43658-w Cite This Page : ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a 3D-printed implant that delivers targeted electrical stimulation to damaged areas of the spinal ...

Antonella Favit-Van Pelt, MD, PhD, discusses the use of neuromodulation and neuroplasticity for addressing gait deficits in patients with multiple sclerosis.

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

Its clinical phenotype includes muscle weakness and atrophy, sensory loss and reduced nerve conduction velocity, among others. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E (CMT2E) ... CMT2E murine model ...

After injury, the long axonal projections of nerve cells are cut and 'die-back' from the injury site, and at the same time a lesion or gap forms at the wound site that prevents their regrowth ...

A key to their investigation was to elucidate the critical involvement of microglia in axonal degeneration post-spinal cord axon injury. Microglia are primary immune cells in the central nervous ...

Missing potassium channels lead to nerve fiber damage. The researchers also identified a specific potassium channel, called Kir4.1, as a key player in the communication between nerve fibers and ...
