Exp Neurol, 2010 • May 1, 2010
This study introduces an in vitro model of adult mammalian nerve repair, combining spinal cord slices with peripheral nerve grafts. The model allows for real-time imaging of axon regeneration and prec...
KEY FINDING: Adult nerve grafts remain viable in the co-culture system, maintaining their structure and function, as evidenced by Schwann cell morphology and growth factor expression.
Dev Dyn, 2010 • November 1, 2010
This paper presents a method for visualizing 3D relationships in intact and regenerating adult newt spinal cords using fluorescent probes and confocal microscopy. The method involves fixation, decalci...
KEY FINDING: PLP with 0.5% PFA fixative provided the best streptavidin probe penetration while preserving cellular morphology.
