Expression of neuregulin and ErbB3 and ErbB4 after a traumatic lesion in the ventral funiculus of the spinal cord and in the intact primary olfactory system
Neuron-derived neuregulins have been implicated in the regulation of glial cell function and survival. This factor family and its receptors may therefore be assumed to be of importance for the cellular respon...

Spinal cord implantation of avulsed ventral roots in primates; correlation between restored motor function and morphology
Functional restitution following spinal cord implantation of avulsed ventral roots was assessed electromyographically and correlated with the morphology of the regenerated neural structures in primates. The C...

Expression of Gα proteins in the develo**, denervated, or injured rat molar tooth
The purpose of this study was to map the distribution of α-subunits of G-proteins – Gαolf s, Gαolf, Gαs, Gαi, Gαo, Gαz and Gαq11– in develo**, denervated or injured rat molar teeth, using fluorescence microsco...

Expression of GAP-43 mRNA in the adult mammalian spinal cord under normal conditions and after different types of lesions, with special reference to motoneurons
In situ hybridization histochemistry was used to detect cell bodies expressing mRNA encoding for the phosphoprotein GAP-43 in the lumbosacral spinal cord of the adult rat, cat and monkey under normal condition...

Peripheral nerve section induces increased levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-like immunoreactivity in axotomized motoneurons
By use of fluorescence immunohistochemistry it is shown that sciatic nerve section in cat and rat induces increased levels of immunoreactive calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in axotomized motoneurons. In...

Observations on the morphology and the axon conduction velocity of axotomized and regenerating sciatic motoneurons in the kitten
In 1 week old kittens a 10 mm long segment of the sciatic nerve was removed distal to the hamstring branch point. After 70–85 days sciatic motoneurons were injected intracellularly with horseradish peroxidase ...
