Diffusional Processes Transport Macromolecules Developing Nerve
Passive transport of macromolecules in growing nerve processes was analyzed quantitatively by measuring the rate of diffusion of fluorescently labeled molecules injected into the soma of cultured Xenopus neurons. We found that the diffusion of globular proteins in the neurite’s cytoplasm was about five times slower than that in aqueous solution, a rate considerably higher than those inferred fr...
متن کاملNucleocytoplasmic transport of macromolecules.
Nucleocytoplasmic transport is a complex process that consists of the movement of numerous macromolecules back and forth across the nuclear envelope. All macromolecules that move in and out of the nucleus do so via nuclear pore complexes that form large proteinaceous channels in the nuclear envelope. In addition to nuclear pores, nuclear transport of macromolecules requires a number of soluble ...
متن کاملDiffusional kurtosis imaging of the developing brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusional kurtosis imaging is an extension of DTI but includes non-Gaussian diffusion effects, allowing more comprehensive characterization of microstructural changes during brain development. Our purpose was to use diffusional kurtosis imaging to measure age-related microstructural changes in both the WM and GM of the developing human brain. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dif...
متن کاملAspects of Qualitative Physics of Diffusional Processes
The study of the qualitative physics of diffusional processes gives rise to challenging problems in cognitive modeling and in simulation. As is the case with qualitative physics in general, when compared with the scien--e of physics, questions related to the nature of scientific thought emerge . In particular, the issue of the difference, whether qualitative or quantitative, between the scienti...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Microtubule Transport in Growing Nerve Processes
In neurons, tubulin is synthesized primarily in the cell body, whereas the molecular machinery for neurite extension and elaboration of microtubule (MT) array is localized to the growth cone region. This unique functional and biochemical compartmentalization of neuronal cells requires transport mechanisms for the delivery of newly synthesized tubulin and other cytoplasmic components from the ce...
