Damage to the central nervous system (CNS) results in a glial reaction, leading eventually to
the formation of a glial scar. In this environment, axon regeneration fails, and remyelination …

It has long been thought that astrocytes, like other glial cells, simply provide a support
mechanism for neuronal function in the healthy and inflamed central nervous system (CNS) …

Devices implanted into the body become encapsulated due to a foreign body reaction. In the
central nervous system (CNS), this can lead to loss of functionality in electrodes used to treat …

Axonal regeneration in the peripheral nervous system is greatly supported by Schwann cells
(SCs). After nerve injury, SCs dedifferentiate to a progenitor‐like state and efficiently guide …

Cortical stiffness is an important cellular property that changes during migration, adhesion
and growth. Previous atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation measurements of cells …

Cadherins are calcium-binding proteins with a pivotal role in cell adhesion and tissue
homeostasis. The cadherin-dependent mechanisms of cell adhesion and migration are …

The central nervous system (CNS) is divided into diverse embryological and functional
compartments. The early embryonic CNS consists of a series of transverse subdivisions …

Transplanted olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are able to remyelinate demyelinated
axons and support regrowth of transected axons after transplantation into the adult CNS …

Radical pelvic surgery is commonly accompanied by the risk of postoperative erectile
dysfunction induced by cavernous nerve injury (CNI-ED). The strategy of using adipose …

N‐Acetyl‐l‐aspartate (NAA) and its derivative N‐acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) are major
osmolytes present in the vertebrate brain. Although they are synthesized primarily in …
