Computational Investigation On The Structural Properties Of Neurofilaments And Their Sidearms
<p>Neurofilaments (NFs) are class IV intermediate filaments, abundantly found in the large myelinated axons. They are the key determinants of axonal diameter and consequently the nerve conduction properties. On the other hand, abnormal NF accumulation has been the hallmark of debilitating …

Effects of mitochondrial dysfunction on neurofilament turnover and distribution in human neuroblastoma cells
… of proteins including α-synuclein, ubiquitin and neurofilaments (NFs). NFs, the intermediate filaments expressed in neuronal cells are responsible for the maintenance of axonal structure. Although NFs were the first proteins identified in LBs their role in PD pathogenesis has not been fully …

Molecular mechanisms of radial axonal growth : insights from analysis of neurofilament gene-targeted mice
… the axon and the expression of proteins known as neurofilaments (NFs) within the axon. NFs are cytoskeletal proteins composed of neurofilament light (NF-L), medium (NF-M) and heavy (NF-H) subunits. It was not well understood how NF subunits mediate the radial growth of axons. To investigate, I …

Role of Gigaxonin in the Regulation of Intermediate Filaments: a Study Using Giant Axonal Neuropathy Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Motor Neurons
… show enlarged axons with accumulations of neurofilaments; so called "giant axons." Interestingly, IFs also accumulate in other cell types in patients. These include desmin in muscle fibers, GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) in astrocytes, and vimentin in multiple cell types including …

The Effects of Neuropathy-Inducing Organophasphate Esters om Chick Dorsal Root Gangli Cell Cultures
… swelling and rarefaction of microtubules and neurofilaments observed within the cytoplasm. This study supports others that suggested mitochondria are a primary target for neuropathy-inducing OP compounds. We suggest that mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) induce abrupt changes in …
