Axonal Transport: A Constrained System

Diabetic Encephalopathy Affects Mitochondria and Axonal Transport Proteins

Introduction: Diabetic encephalopathy is described as any cognitive and memory impairments and associated with hippocampal degenerative changes, include neurodegenerative process and decreased number of living cell. Mitochondrial Diabetes (MD) appears fallowing activation of mutant mitochondrial DNA and is combination of diabetes and cognitive deficit. In this research we showed the correlation...

Optimal Solution in a Constrained Distribution System

We develop a method to obtain an optimal solution for a constrained distribution system with several items and multi-retailers. The objective is to determine the procurement frequency as well as the joint shipment interval for each retailer in order to minimize the total costs. The proposed method is applicable to both nested and non-nested policies and ends up with an optimal solution. To solv...

The Genetics of Axonal Transport and Axonal Transport Disorders

Neurons are specialized cells with a complex architecture that includes elaborate dendritic branches and a long, narrow axon that extends from the cell body to the synaptic terminal. The organized transport of essential biological materials throughout the neuron is required to support its growth, function, and viability. In this review, we focus on insights that have emerged from the genetic an...

SnapShot: Axonal Transport

Retrograde axonal transport in the central nervous system.

When horseradish peroxidase is injected into the optic tectum of a chick, axons of ganglion cells transport it centripetally to their cell bodies in the retina at a rate of about 72 millimeters per day. After intraocular injections in the young chick, the peroxidase is transported centripetally along efferent axons, and is concentrated in cell bodies within the isthmo-optic nucleus. This retrog...
