Finally and most interestingly, immature neurons, such as neuroblast cells from human fetal brains, grew long axons when they were transplanted into the brains of adult Bcl-2 in the regulation of nerve regeneration DF Chen and S Tonegawa rats (Wictorin et al, 1990; 1992). Axonal growth at ...
Neural crest cells are a transient migratory embryonic cell population. Previous imaging studies of cranial neural crest cells inXenopusand chick embryos have revealed the organization of the cells as they migrate, the rules guiding their behavior and some of the molecular bases of the interactions [...
The stem/progenitor cells present in the human Wharton Jelly of the umbilical cord, known as human Wharton Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (hWJ-MSCs), have been suggested as a possible population of interest for future clinical applications [7–9]. Like bone marrow MSCs or adipose stem cells, ...
We have developed a technique of 1 h low-frequency electrical stimulation (ES) of the proximal nerve stump just after surgical repair of a transected peripheral nerve that greatly accelerates axon outgrowth. This technique has been applied in patients after carpal tunnel release surgery where the ...
Each organ in our body is made ofspecialized cellsthat work together to make that organ work the way it does. In the brain, these cells are callednervecells, orneurons. Each neuron contains a bulb-like structure called thecell body. Protrusions off of the cell body are calleddendrites, an...
reversible, so all its states have the same entropy! Although at the moment it is nothing more than a set of mathematical models). Colloquially, this would mean that the classical universe does not have a repository of Sistates. In other words, the classical universe would have no memory ...
In high amounts, mercury is one of the deadliest metals there is. Certain studies have found that when nerves are exposed to mercury, the myelin sheath (the fatty substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells and helps with electrical signaling)can become severely damaged, interfering ...
This is the heart of migraine: migraineurs are glucose sensitive with a brain that lacks capability to handle the huge electrolyte disruption when glucose enters the brain cells. As we know, adaptation is an important part of evolution. It seems that a very large percentage of the human populat...
The mechanism is based on the passive transport of simple diffusion of MIBG into the cells. Interestingly, delayed images are less dependent on uptake type 2 and more accurately reflect cardiac sympathetic nerve activity and pathological findings, but the dose of MIBG may influence these features [...
The cells capable of encoding noxious stimuli, nociceptive neurons, originate from neural crest stem cells that migrate dorsally from the neural tube and develop late during neurogenesis. Their cell bodies are in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and give rise to an axon characterised by a ...
