Assembly of a new growth cone after axotomy: the precursor to axon regeneration

F Bradke, JW Fawcett, ME Spira - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2012 - nature.com
The assembly of a new growth cone is a prerequisite for axon regeneration after injury.
Creation of a new growth cone involves multiple processes, including calcium signalling …

The struggle to make CNS axons regenerate: why has it been so difficult?

JW Fawcett - Neurochemical research, 2020 - Springer
Axon regeneration in the CNS is inhibited by many extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Because
these act in parallel, no single intervention has been sufficient to enable full regeneration of …

Transcriptome analysis of embryonic and adult sensory axons reveals changes in mRNA repertoire localization

LF Gumy, GSH Yeo, YCL Tung, KH Zivraj, D Willis… - Rna, 2011 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
mRNAs are transported, localized, and translated in axons of sensory neurons. However,
little is known about the full repertoire of transcripts present in embryonic and adult sensory …

Subcellular profiling reveals distinct and developmentally regulated repertoire of growth cone mRNAs

KH Zivraj, YCL Tung, M Piper, L Gumy… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Cue-directed axon guidance depends partly on local translation in growth cones. Many
mRNA transcripts are known to reside in developing axons, yet little is known about their …

Local translation in neuronal compartments: how local is local?

V Rangaraju, S tom Dieck, EM Schuman - EMBO reports, 2017 - embopress.org
Efficient neuronal function depends on the continued modulation of the local neuronal
proteome. Local protein synthesis plays a central role in tuning the neuronal proteome at …

Axonal transcription factors signal retrogradely in lesioned peripheral nerve

K Ben‐Yaakov, SY Dagan, Y Segal‐Ruder… - The EMBO …, 2012 - embopress.org
Retrograde axonal injury signalling stimulates cell body responses in lesioned peripheral
neurons. The involvement of importins in retrograde transport suggests that transcription …

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation increases axonal growth capacity of injured peripheral nerves

N Abe, SH Borson, MJ Gambello, F Wang… - Journal of Biological …, 2010 - ASBMB
Unlike neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), injured neurons in the peripheral
nervous system (PNS) can regenerate their axons and reinnervate their targets. However …

Identification and quantitative analyses of microRNAs located in the distal axons of sympathetic neurons

O Natera-Naranjo, A Aschrafi, AE Gioio, BB Kaplan - Rna, 2010 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
microRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a novel class of small, noncoding RNAs that act as negative
post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Although the nervous system is a …

Cell intrinsic control of axon regeneration

FM Mar, A Bonni, MM Sousa - EMBO reports, 2014 - embopress.org
Although neurons execute a cell intrinsic program of axonal growth during development,
following the establishment of connections, the developmental growth capacity declines …

The role of exosomes in intercellular and inter‐organ communication of the peripheral nervous system

JP Bischoff, A Schulz, H Morrison - FEBS letters, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Exosomes, nano‐sized extracellular vesicles, are produced via the endosomal pathway and
released in the extracellular space upon fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma …
