The conditions are controlled in two ways with chemical and nervous responses. A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath. They are long so they can carry messages up and ...

New data suggest the frequency of damage and repair processes correlates with disease severity and disability in multiple ...

Most scientists studying SCI strive to develop therapies that preserve spinal cord tissue or promote axon regeneration. Similarly, in the clinic, hemodynamic management, surgical decompression and ...

They do so with nervous system tissue that imitates electrical wiring ... and insulation around the axon. Why must glial cells support neurons? Neurons are specialized cells that receive and ...

Using a rigorous complete spinal cord injury model, the researchers demonstrated that lipin1 knockdown (KD) promotes robust CST axon regeneration. Surprisingly, the regenerative effect of lipin1 ...

However, further research is needed to fully understand the complex mechanisms of axon regeneration and how they can be ...
