Channelrhodopsins: visual regeneration and neural activation by a light switch

N Biotechnol, 2013 • June 25, 2013

Optogenetics, particularly using channelrhodopsins, offers precise control over cellular activity via light, with potential therapeutic applications for neurological and retinal disorders. Channelrhod...

KEY FINDING: Optogenetic tools, particularly channelrhodopsins, can be used to control neural circuits and restore function in various tissues.

Motor Recovery and Synaptic Preservation after Ventral Root Avulsion and Repair with a Fibrin Sealant Derived from Snake Venom

PLoS ONE, 2013 • May 7, 2013

The study investigates the effects of a snake venom-derived fibrin sealant on functional recovery, neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and glial reaction after ventral root reimplantation. The res...

KEY FINDING: Root reimplantation with fibrin sealant enhances motor recovery and improves neuronal survival.

A TSPO ligand is protective in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis

EMBO Mol Med, 2013 • June 1, 2013

This study demonstrates that etifoxine, a clinically available TSPO ligand, exhibits neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (EAE). Etifoxine administratio...

KEY FINDING: Etifoxine attenuated EAE severity when administered before the development of clinical signs and improved symptomatic recovery when administered at the peak of the disease.

Improvement of Contused Spinal Cord in Rats by Cholinergic-like Neuron Therapy

Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal, 2013 • February 1, 2013

This study aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of cholinergic neuron-like cells (CNLs) derived from bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in a rat model of spinal cord contusion. The results demonst...

KEY FINDING: Rats treated with CNLs showed a higher rate of improvement in motor function compared to those treated with BMSCs alone or the untreated group, as measured by the BBB test.

Controlled Cervical Laceration Injury in Mice

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2013 • May 9, 2013

The study introduces a novel technique for creating controlled cervical spinal cord laceration injuries in mice. This method incorporates vertebral facet fixation for spine stabilization, enhanced spi...

KEY FINDING: The described method allows for a reproducible cervical spinal cord laceration injury in mice with an accuracy of ±0.01 mm in lesion depth.

Generation of Magnetized Olfactory Ensheathing Cells for Regenerative Studies in the Central and Peripheral Nervous Tissue

Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2013 • May 24, 2013

The study explores using magnetized olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) for treating spinal cord injuries. OECs are modified with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to enable controlled migration via magnet...

KEY FINDING: Magnetized OECs survive well without showing stress-related cellular responses.

Electrical Stimulation of Embryonic Neurons for 1 Hour Improves Axon Regeneration and the Number of Reinnervated Muscles that Function

J Neuropathol Exp Neurol, 2013 • July 1, 2013

The study aimed to determine if brief electrical stimulation of transplanted embryonic ventral spinal cord cells could improve motoneuron survival, axon regeneration, muscle reinnervation, and functio...

KEY FINDING: Brief electrical stimulation at 1 Hz for 1 hour significantly increased the number of myelinated axons.

Axonal neuregulin 1 is a rate limiting but not essential factor for nerve remyelination

Brain, 2013 • July 1, 2013

This study investigates the role of neuregulin 1 (NRG1) in nerve repair following injury in adult mice by conditionally ablating NRG1. The researchers found that NRG1 is not required for maintaining t...

KEY FINDING: Loss of neuregulin 1 impairs remyelination after nerve crush, but does not affect Schwann cell proliferation associated with Wallerian degeneration or axon regeneration or the clearance of myelin debris by macrophages.

Messenger RNA expression patterns of p75 neurotrophin receptor and tropomyosin-receptor-kinase A following spinal cord injury

The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2013 • May 1, 2013

The study analyzes mRNA expression levels of p75NTR, Trk A, and caspase-9 in a rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI) at different time points and locations around the injury site. Results show a compl...

KEY FINDING: The expression of p75NTR, Trk A, and caspase-9 mRNA changes after SCI, with the greatest variation observed in the center regions of the injury.
