ax•on (ˈæk sɒn) n. the appendage of a neuron that transmits impulses away from the cell body. [1835–45; < New Latin < Greekáxōnan axle, axis; akin to Latinaxis] ax′on•al(-sə nl, -ˌsɒn l)adj. ...
The threadlike process of a neuron which conducts nerve impulses from the cell body to the neuron's ending (bouton) where it is transmitted via a synapse to another neuron, muscle or gland.Syn. nerve fibre (when it is sheathed).Seeneuron;synapse. ...
It has a distinct structure and is composed of several key components: Axonal region The axonal region refers to the main body of the axon, which extends from the axon hillock to the axon terminals. It is a long, slender projection that varies in length depending on the type of neuron ...

However, previously reported neuron-cardiomyocyte (CM) coculture chips lack studies of functional neuron–CM interactions with completely human-based cell models. Here, we present a novel completely human cell-based and electrophysiologically functional cardiac innervation on a chip in which a ...
The focus of this article will be on this crucial component within a neuron called an axon. An axon is a cable that transmits messages away from the cell body or soma towards the dendrites of other neurons or the sensory receptors of other types of cells to impact them directly. Each ...
both, hippocampal and cortical neurons (Fig.4d,e, blots and bar graphs on the right). According to these data, the decrease of membrane Gal-4 with neuron maturation is due, at least in part, to a reduction of its expression rate, although these changes in Gal-4 expression do not necess...
In the present study, we identified that this chemokine has a robust and attractive effect on neuron growth cone formation, axon growth and myelination during post-injury repair. We specifically demonstrate for the first time that these effects are related to the ability of neuronal CCL5 to promo...
