Oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.With the aim to find reagents that reduce oxidative stress,a phage display library was screened for peptides mimicking a2,6-sialyllactose(...
The authors apologize that one image in Fig.2a appeared incorrectly.The representative image for the positive control“NGF”group in Fig.2a is the same as that for the“10μmol/L ARDD in D4”group in Fig.2c.The correc...

Neurite initiation is critical for neuronal morphogenesis and early neural circuit development. Recent studies showed that local actin aggregation underneath the cell membrane determined the site of neurite initiation...
Recent studies focus on promoting neurite outgrowth to remodel the central nervous network after brain injury. Currently, however, there are few drugs treating brain diseases in the clinic by enhancing neurite outgrow...
Peripheral nerve injuries are most often a consequence of axonal damage leading to functional losses that may vary from lack of sensitivity distal to the site of injury to complete loss of motor control.The consequenc...

A salient feature of neurons is their intrinsic ability to grow and extend neurites, even in the absence of external cues. Compared to the later stages of neuronal development, such as neuronal polarization and dendri...
Aim: To study the effects of Claulansine F (Clau F), a carbazole alkaloid isolated from the stem of Clausena lansium (Lour) Skeels, on neuritogenesis of PC12 cells, and to elucidate the mechanism of action. Meth...

Following injury, the axons of the mammalian central nervous system do not regenerate. Many studies have aimed at understanding the mechanisms that prevent axonal regeneration and at designing ways to overcome the obs...
