Nerve axonal injury and associated cellular mechanisms leading to peripheral nerve
damage are important topics of research necessary for reducing disability and enhancing …

Axons are ultrathin membrane cables that are specialized for the conduction of action
potentials. Although their diameter is variable along their length, how their morphology is …

Disturbance in the neuronal network leads to instability in the microtubule (MT) railroad of
axons, causing hindrance in the intra-axonal transport and making it difficult to re-establish …

Onsagers variational principle (OVP) was originally proposed by Lars Onsager in 1931 [L.
Onsager, Phys. Rev., 1931, 37, 405]. This fundamental principle provides a very powerful …

Inflammation contributes to the genesis and progression of chronic diseases, such as cancer
and neurodegeneration. Upregulation of integrins in astrocytes during inflammation induces …

Cells respond to physical cues in their microenvironment. These cues result in changes in
cell behavior, some of which are transient, and others of which are permanent …

Diffuse axonal injury is a primary neuropathological feature of concussion and is thought to
greatly contribute to the classical symptoms of decreased processing speed and memory …

Axonal extension and retraction are ongoing processes that occur throughout all
developmental stages of an organism. The ability of axons to produce mechanical forces …

Early investigations of the neuronal actin filament cytoskeleton gave rise to the notion that,
although growth cones exhibit high levels of actin filaments, the axon shaft exhibits low …

A current bottleneck in the advance of neurophysics is the lack of reliable methods to
quantitatively measure the interactions between neural cells and their microenvironment …
