Book Axonal Regeneration in the Mammalian Central Nervous System

Download or read book Axonal Regeneration in the Mammalian Central Nervous System written by Dorothy E. Oorschot and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This state-of-the-art review links the experimental data into a cohesive and critical account of CNS regeneration. Research findings are discussed in terms of their relevance to one (or more) of thirteen hypotheses concerned with regeneration in the mammalian CNS. Research findings reviewed include: regeneration in developing mammals and in submammalian vertebrates, the use of transplants and/or pharmacological treatments, in vitro studies on neurotrophic and neurite promoting factors and their potential relevance to CNS regeneration in vivo, and in vitro studies on the types of glial cells that may be responsible for enhancing or suppressing axonal re-growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summarizing a review of research into factors that regulate, stimulate, and prevent regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS), this comprehensive reference progresses further into answering and resolving neuron capacity for axon regeneration in the mammalian CNS. Axonal Regeneration in the Central Nervous System analyzes axonal regeneration, reinnervation, and functional recovery in lower vertebrates examines the correlation between developmental age and the ability to regenerate considers mammalian neuron responses at the cell body, site of injury, and in the distal nerve, including apoptic cell death, and inflammatory and glial responses to injury reviews genomic responses to axotomy with a comparative description of transcribed genes from successfully regenerating neurons and neurons incapable of regrowth discusses how growing axons may induce the expression of genes in glia/Schwann cells following axotomy and regeneration describes the use of gene therapy to deliver trophic and survival factors to injured neurons explores the hospitable environments of the peripheral nerve, olfactory ensheathing cells, and fetal cell transplants for regeneration discusses results from applications of fetal CNS tissue to human spinal cord injuries and much more!

Book Nerve  Organ  and Tissue Regeneration  Research Perspectives

Download or read book Nerve Organ and Tissue Regeneration Research Perspectives written by Fredrick Seil and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nerve, Organ, and Tissue Regeneration: Research Perspectives presents the proceedings of a symposium held in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, on September 21–24, 1982. This book explores the neural and nonneural areas of regeneration, with emphasis on the nervous system. Organized into six parts encompassing 22 chapters, this compilation of papers examines the commitment of the Veterans Administration to deal with the clinical problem of spinal cord injury by establishing 19spinal cord injury treatment and rehabilitation centers throughout the United States. This book then discusses the characteristics of the neuronal response to axon injury, which vary from cellular hypertrophy and heightened metabolism to cell death. Other chapters consider the three phases of axonal regeneration, including sprout formation, elongation, and maturation. The final chapter deals with the structural and functional alterations that developed when the length of the mammalian intestine is shortened by excision or by-pass of a long segment. This book is a valuable resource for biologists, orthopedic surgeons, and neuroscientists.

Book Degeneration and Regeneration in the Nervous System

Download or read book Degeneration and Regeneration in the Nervous System written by Norman Saunders and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Degeneration and Regeneration in the Nervous System brings together an international team of contributors to produce a series of critical reviews appraising key papers in the field. The pace of research on brain and spinal cord injury quickened considerably in the last ten years and there is much that is new and important that is covered in this book. However, there is still a long way to go before our knowledge will explain fully why the central nervous system has such a limited capacity for regeneration, and before experimental solutions can be applied to the patient. With emphasis on actual and therapeutic importance of the work reviewed, Degeneration and Regeneration in the Nervous System is a useful overview for graduate students, their teachers and researchers working in this field.

Book Mechanisms of Secondary Brain Damage

Download or read book Mechanisms of Secondary Brain Damage written by A. Baethmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinction between primary and secondary brain damage of vari ous origin, particularly in acute lesions, such as head injury and ische mia is not entirely new. The concept is of practical significance, be cause it is the foremost intention of all clinical efforts to prevent, or at least attenuate the development of secondary sequelae. Primary dam age to nervous elements usually cannot be influenced by treatment. Its prevention is the objective of prophylactic measures. The current volume gathered prominent scientists and clinicians from various fields to pro vide a competent introduction and survey of the various aspects involved in secondary brain damage. It was attempted to provide criteria for the distinction between the primary and secondary phenomena on a morpho logical and functional level, on the basis of the kinetics involved and, most importantly, regarding the different specific manifestations, such as disturbances of microcirculation, aspects of the blood-brain barrier, and of cellular structure and function at a molecular level. Although it was not expected that a grand unifying hypothesis will be reached recon cilable with the many, occasionally opposing views on such a complex subject, nevertheless, the present volume attains an appropriate result. It can best be described as a mosaic of many different pieces which only as an ensemble reflect the current state of the art.

Book Mechanisms of Axonal Regeneration in the Central Nervous System

Download or read book Mechanisms of Axonal Regeneration in the Central Nervous System written by Gunnar Heiko Dirk Poplawski and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regenerative capacity of central nervous system (CNS) axons after injury is severely impaired compared to axons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). We hypothesized that mechanisms both intrinsic and extrinsic to the neuron influence the ability of CNS axons to regenerate. To investigate this hypothesis we explored two model systems. In the first model system, we identified a regeneration transcriptome in injured corticospinal motor neurons that is associated with enhanced central axon regeneration after spinal cord injury. The genetic mechanisms identified in this model include cAMP-Erk-CREB, Huntingtin, NFE2L2, ephrin and semaphorin signaling, and provide a dataset for potential therapeutic intervention to improve axonal regeneration in vivo after spinal cord injury. In the second model, we tested the hypothesis that glial cells of the peripheral nerve, Schwann cells, are an essential mechanism contributing to central axonal regeneration after "conditioning" lesions, wherein injury to the peripheral branch of a dorsal root ganglion sensory neuron enhances regeneration of the central branch of the sensory neuron. The gene encoding Low-density lipoprotein Receptor-related Protein-1 (LRP1) was conditionally deleted in Schwann cells, impairing the survival and function of Schwann cells after injury; animals with Schwann cell-specific deletion of LRP1 exhibited a significant reduction in axon regeneration in vitro and a trend towards central sensory axon regeneration after conditioning lesions, confirming that glial cells exhibit an essential but partial role in supporting axonal regeneration. Overall, these studies identify novel molecular and cellular mechanisms that influence central axon regeneration, and suggest therapeutic approaches to improve neural repair after CNS injury.
