The rapid formation of a glial/fibrotic scar is one of the main factors hampering axon growth after spinal cord injury. The bidirectional Eph B2/ephrin-B2 signaling of the fibroblast-astrocyte contact-dependent intera...
Peripheral nerve fibroblasts play an important role in the process of nerve development and regeneration.The present study revealed that fibroblasts with different tissue sources,such as peripheral nerve fibroblasts(N...

The intricate anatomy and physiology of cranial nerves have inspired clinicians and scientists to study their roles in the nervous system. Damage to motor cranial nerves may result from a variety of organic or iatroge...
Injuries to spinal motoneurons manifest in a variety of forms,including damage to peripheral axons,neurodegenerative disease,or direct insult centrally.Such injuries produce a variety of negative structural and functi...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a motoneuron degenerative disease that is challenging to diagnose and presents with considerable variability in survival.Early identification and enhanced understanding of symptomatic ...
Background: Dysfunctional spinal circuit may play a role in the pathophysiology ofarnyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The purpose of this study was to use F waves for assessment of segmental motoneuronal excitabi...
Spinal root avulsion is an excellent model for studying the re- sponse of motoneurons to severe injury to their axons (Koliat- sos et al., 1994). In this model (‘Avulsion Model'), spinal roots are torn off from ...

The neurotrophin receptor (p75) activates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. Activation of JNK and its substrate c-Jun can cause apoptosis. Here we evaluate the role of p75 in spinal motoneurons by compari...
