30 Oct 2009 
The molecular mechanisms by which extracellular guidance cues regulate axonal morphology are not fully understood. Recent findings suggest that increased activity of the protein kinase Akt promotes dendritic branching and elongation in hippocampal ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 The Ser493 residue in the E-segment of the rat neurofilament heavy chain (NF-H) is phosphorylated by glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3 beta) in vitro and in spinal cord. We examined Ser493 phosphorylation by analyzing developmental changes and ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the peripheral neuronal toxicity of a traditional Chinese medicine, alpha-trichosanthin (TCS). METHODS: TCS and rhodamine-conjugated TCS were separately injected into the rat sciatic nerve. Saline and rhodamine were used ... Read more...
