    • The Core Apoptotic Executioner Proteins CED-3 and CED-4 Promote Neuronal Regeneration in Caenorhabditis Elegans 

      Pinan-Lucarre, Berangere; Gabel, Christopher V.; Reina, Christopher P.; Hulme, S. Elizabeth; Shevkopylas, Sergey S.; Slone, R. Daniel; Xue, Jian; Qiao, Yujie; Weisberg, Sarah; Roodhouse, Kevin; Sun, Lin; Whitesides, George M.; Samuel, Aravinthan DT; Drisocll, Monica (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      A critical accomplishment in the rapidly developing field of regenerative medicine will be the ability to foster repair of neurons severed by injury, disease, or microsurgery. In C. elegans, individual visualized axons can ...

    • Spatial Constraints Dictate Glial Territories at Murine Neuromuscular Junctions 

      Brill, Monika S.; Lichtman, Jeff; Thompson, Wesley; Zuo, Yi; Misgeld, Thomas (The Rockefeller University Press, 2011)
      Schwann cells (SCs), the glial cells of the peripheral nervous system, cover synaptic terminals, allowing them to monitor and modulate neurotransmission. Disruption of glial coverage leads to axon degeneration and synapse ...
