Innervation des Cervidenhodens
In this investigation, the innervation in the testis of 14 specimens of fallow deer of different age was studied. To obtain a picture of the general innervation pattern the immunoreaction to the panneural marker PGP-9.5 was the first choice. Bundles of the superior and inferior spermatic nerves …

Cutaneous innervation of the hand
… the hand is becoming more vital. The cutaneous innervation of the hand is classically described to be supplied by palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve (PCBMN), common digital nerves (CDNs), ulnar nerve (UN), palmar cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve, dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve …

THE ROLE OF INNERVATION IN ENGINEERED MUSCLE
… muscle architecture, vascularization, and innervation. No available therapy reliably reestablishes both the structural integrity and functional capacity of lost muscle, underscoring the urgent need for more advanced regenerative solutions. Recent efforts in tissue engineering aim to …

Matrix-mediated formation & innervation of skeletal myotubes
… develop advanced matrices for the formation and innervation of skeletal muscle. This thesis discusses the development of advanced bioactive matrices to be able to study the role of a variety of extracellular matrix properties on skeletal muscle formation and, ultimately, innervation. The role of …

Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Neurite Growth, Innervation and Survival
The establishment of correct neural circuitry in the nervous system requires the interplay, integration, and coordination of a diverse set of cells and signals during development and in the adult. Two important events are the regulated initiation and growth of dendrites that receive and process …

Concerning the Innervation of the Upper Dentition in Man
<p>The primary objectives of this study were to determine: 1) the pathway of the superior alveolar nerves and their relation to the maxillary molar tooth buds in the fetal and neonatal specimens and in the child, and 2) whether nerve fibers entered any microscopically-observed tooth buds.</p>

Evaluation of Global Muscle Innervation Using Multi-Channel Surface Electromyography
… sEMG has been used to assess the location of innervation zones (IZs) and the quantity of functioning innervation of targeted muscles. This knowledge associated with muscle innervation is critical to the clinical understanding, diagnosis and management of neuromuscular disorders, yet it remains …

Anatomy, Histological Features, Innervation and Vascularity of the Glenoid Labrum
<b>Background</b>: The glenohumeral joint is the articulation between the head of the humerus and the glenoid fossa of the scapula, the latter being deepened and extended by the triangular fibrocartilaginous glenoid labrum attached peripherally to the margin of the glenoid fossa. The glenoid labrum …

Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Innervation and ALS Pathogenesis by MicroRNA 206
… of the miR-206 gene to the state of motor innervation is dependent on binding sites for MyoD in an upstream enhancer. Based on the upregulation of miR-206 following denervation and its synapse-enriched expression pattern, I hypothesized that miR-206 is an important regulator of …

The outer spiral network and its innervation by the olivocochlear system
Outer hair cells (OHCs) are key elements of the mammalian hearing system, which amplify sound-evoked signals transmitted into the inner ear. OHCs are innervated by peripheral projections of olivocochlear (OC) and type-II spiral ganglion neurons. Type-II neurons innervate up to 100 OHCs, but their …

Chronic Stress Promotes Tumor Growth Through Increased Bdnf Production and Neo-Innervation
… levels in circulation. I hypothesized that neo-innervation of tumors is required for stress-mediated effects on tumor growth.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> First, I examined whether sympathetic nerves are present in human ovarian cancer samples as well as orthotopic ovarian cancer models. …

The Identification of a Leptin Dependent Neural Pathway Regulating Adipose Tissue Innervation
… that leptin might regulate the plasticity of SNS innervation of adipose tissue to promote fat usage. We first visualized SNS innervation, using a whole-mount tissue clearing method (Adipo- Clear) paired with light sheet microscopy imaging, in both brown adipose tissue (BAT) and inguinal white …

Characterization of Murine Cardiac Cholinergic Innervation and Its Remodeling in Type 1 Diabetes.
… true cholinergic markers. We found cholinergic innervation of the mouse heart to be largely focused in the atrium and conducting system. We investigated the involvement of the neurotrophic factor neurturin (NRTN) in the development of cholinergic innervation, because there was indirect evidence …

The effect of ageing on the innervation and total collagen content of human colon
This thesis addressed the enteric innervations and total collagen content and its distribution within the functional sublayers, namely: mucosa, submucosa and muscularis externa (circular muscle (CM) and taenia coli (TC)) in ageing human colon. Macroscopically normal ascending (AC) and descending …
