The Role Of Adult Stem Cells And Tumor Necrosis Factor In Peripheral Neuropathy
… peripheral neuropathy with specific patterns of development and prognoses. In the first study, we use a mouse model of hereditary peripheral neuropathy that results in hind-limb paralysis to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of adult, adipose derived stem cells (ADSC). The paralyzed mice that …

Role of Laminins in the Development of the Peripheral Nervous System
… the function of laminins in peripheral nerve development, the laminin γ1 gene was specifically disrupted in Schwann cells. Disruption of laminin γ1 gene expression resulted in depletion of all other laminin chains known to be expressed in Schwann cells. Schwann cells lacking laminins …

Inhibition of Retinoic Acid Receptors Results in Defasciculation of the Trigeminal Nerve in Xenopus laevis
… yet surprisingly little is known about how the nerves are guided to their targets. The study of the development of these nerves has important implications for our understanding of craniofacial anomalies and possible treatments for both injury and genetic disorders of nerve development such as …

Neuromuscular Synaptic Proteins In Development And Regeneration
Following injury, peripheral nerves reestablish neuromuscular connections with their developmental targets. While the molecular pathways that govern peripheral nerve development and neuromuscular synapse formation are mostly understood, it is unclear whether the same pathways are reemployed to …

Axogial communication mediated by soluble neuregulin-1 and bdnf
<p>During peripheral nervous system development, successful communication between axons and glial cells including Schwann cells in peripheral nervous system and oligodendrocytes in central nervous system, is required for the proper functions of both neurons and glia. Three types of …

Towards Mammalian Retinal Regeneration: Cell Signaling in Re-Differentiating Mouse Müller Glia and Transcriptional Regulation of the Axonal Guidance Receptor EPHA5
Damage to the neural retina or optic nerve results in irreversible blindness because the mammalian retina cannot regenerate. For stem cell therapies to regenerate a functional retina, multiple challenges must be overcome. These include identification of stem cell sources, targeted differentiation …
