An example of PNS myelinated nerve fiber is shown. (B) Illustration of transverse section of myelinated axon at the internode. (C) Light microscopy of a mouse sciatic nerve at lower magnification.

Animal models as well as human cells have shown that cnicin significantly accelerates axon (nerve fibers) growth. The study ...

Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new ...

The ratio between axon diameter and that of the total nerve fiber (axon and myelin) is 0.6–0.7, a ratio that is well maintained regardless of the axon caliber. The length of the myelin sheath ...

This tissue contains millions of nerve fibers, or axons, that connect other parts of the brain and spinal cord and signal your nerves to talk to one another. A fatty material called myelin ...

The postulated mechanisms of injury include direct needle trauma, secondary constriction by scar, and direct nerve fiber damage, due to both axon and Schwann cell, with a breakdown in the blood ...

Isabella Aguilera-Cuenca, University of Arizona Nerve fiber orientation is an important ... not individual axon orientations. PS-OCT is also useful for studying brain microstructure.

Abnormalities of unmyelinated fibers in severe length-dependent diabetic polyneuropathy. Electron micrograph of a superficial peroneal nerve biopsy specimen from a patient with a severe length ...
