Myelination of prospective large fibres in chicken ventral funiculus
In mammals, the oligodendrocyte population includes morphological and molecular varieties. We reported previously that an antiserum against the T4-O molecule labels a subgroup of oligodendrocytes related to la...

Fibroblast-like cells from rat plantar skin and neurotrophin-transfected 3T3 fibroblasts influence neurite growth from rat sensory neurons in vitro
Our previous finding that skin-derived and muscle-derived molecules can be used to sort regenerating rat sciatic nerve axons evoked questions concerning neuron-target interactions at the level of single cells,...

Retrograde tracing and neuropeptide immunohistochemistry of sensory neurones projecting to the cartilaginous distal femoral epiphysis of young rats
Although cartilage is considered to be devoid of innervation, axons occur in the perichondrium and during development in cartilage canals, thereby having a relatively close spatial relationship to chondroblas...

Increased occurrence of PGP 9.5-immunoreactive epidermal Langerhans cells in rat plantar skin after sciatic nerve injury
This study examines the occurrence and distribution of epidermal dendritic cells (DCs) in cryostate sections from plantar skin in normal rats and in rats with a crush injury or neurotomy and suture of the sci...

Tooth pulp tissue promotes neurite outgrowth from rat trigeminal ganglia in vitro
The mammalian tooth pulp becomes innervated by nociceptive and sympathetic axons relatively late during development, when part of the root has formed. In the adult, regenerating axons from an injured tooth ner...

Hypoglycaemic neuropathy in BB/Wor rats treated with insulin implants: electron microscopic observations
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that causes long-term secondary complications such as neuropathy. The occurrence of diabetic neuropathy has generally been thought of as bein...

Neuropathy in diabetic BB/Wor rats treated with insulin implants
To elucidate the pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy many workers have examined nerve specimens from diabetic rats. While most workers found that animals with high blood glucose levels develop neuropathy, ...

The developmental skeletal growth in the rat foot is reduced after denervation
It has long been known that bone is innervated. In recent years it has been suggested that the local nerves may influence the growth and metabolism of bone by way of neuropeptides. The transient local presenc...

Combined retrograde tracing and immunohistochemistry of trigeminal ganglion neurons projecting to gingiva or tooth pulps in the lower jaw of the cichlid Tilapia mariae
Rat trigeminal ganglion neurons projecting to the oral mucosa or to tooth pulps have different cell diameters and contain different chemical markers. In the present paper we examine whether trigeminal ganglion...

Axo-glial relations in the retina-optic nerve junction of the adult rat: freeze-fracture observations on axon membrane structure
The axolemmal ultrastructure of nerve fibres within the retina-optic nerve junction (ROJ) from adult rats was examined by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. In the juxtaocular (proximal) region of the ROJ, a...

Evidence for a correlation between myelin period and number of myelin lamellae in fibres of the feline spinal cord white matter
The myelin period was measured on electron micrographs of feline spinal cord white matter fibres and compared with the number of myelin lamellae. The results show that in specimens processed for electron micro...
