Axotomy results in delayed death and apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells in adult rats

- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of neuroscience : the official…
- 1 July 1994
Using quantitative anatomical techniques, we show that after intraorbital optic nerve transection in adult rats, virtually all retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) survive for 5 d and then die abruptly in… Expand
Effects of ocular injury and administration of brain-derived neurotrophic factor on survival and regrowth of axotomized retinal ganglion cells.

- 1 March 1994
Optic nerve transection in adult rats results in the death of approximately 50% of the axotomized retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) by 1 week and nearly 90% by 2 weeks after injury. The capacity of… Expand
Axonal elongation into peripheral nervous system "bridges" after central nervous system injury in adult rats.
The origin, termination, and length of axonal growth after focal central nervous system injury was examined in adult rats by means of a new experimental model. When peripheral nerve segments were… Expand
Rapid and protracted phases of retinal ganglion cell loss follow axotomy in the optic nerve of adult rats.

- Journal of neurobiology
- 1993
To investigate the short- and long-term effects of axotomy on the survival of central nervous system (CNS) neurons in adult rats, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were labelled retrogradely with the… Expand
Expression of the growth-associated protein GAP-43 in adult rat retinal ganglion cells following axon injury

- Biology, Medicine
- Neuron
- 1 April 1991
We have studied the expression of the growth-associated protein GAP-43 after injury to the axons of adult rat retinal ganglion cells (CNS neurons that do not normally regenerate injured axons). Both… Expand
Axons from CNS neurones regenerate into PNS grafts
- P. Richardson, U. McGuinness, A. Aguayo
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 20 March 1980
Axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) form sprouts after injury1–3. Elongation of regenerating axonal sprouts has been observed as the exception within the… Expand
Axonal regeneration and synapse formation in the superior colliculus by retinal ganglion cells in the adult rat
- M. Vidal-Sanz, G. Bray, M. P. Villegas-Pérez, S. Thanos, A. Aguayo
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of neuroscience : the official…
- 1 September 1987
In adult rats, one optic nerve was transected and replaced by a 4 cm segment of autologous peripheral nerve (PN) that linked one eye and the superior colliculus (SC) along a predominantly… Expand
Influences of peripheral nerve grafts on the survival and regrowth of axotomized retinal ganglion cells in adult rats

- 1 January 1988
To investigate the role of extrinsic influences on the survival and growth of axotomized retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the mature mammalian CNS, both optic nerves (ONs) of adult rats were… Expand
Prolonged delivery of brain-derived neurotrophic factor by adenovirus-infected Müller cells temporarily rescues injured retinal ganglion cells.

- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 31 March 1998
In this study, we demonstrate that: (i) injection of an adenovirus (Ad) vector containing the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene (Ad.BDNF) into the vitreous chamber of adult rats results… Expand
Regeneration of long spinal axons in the rat

- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of neurocytology
- 1 February 1984
SummaryTo investigate regeneration of long spinal axons, the right lateral column of the rat spinal cord was cut at high cervical, low cervical, midthoracic or lumbar level, and one end of an… Expand
