Recapitulation of the parathyroid hormone-related peptide-Indian hedgehog pathway in the regenerating deer antler.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related peptide (PTHrP) and the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PPR) play an essential role in controlling growth plate development. The aim of the present study was to use the deer antler as a model to determine whether PTHrP and PPR may also have a function in regulating cartilage and bone regeneration in an adult mammal. Antlers are the only mammalian appendages that are able t...
متن کاملNerve Growth Factor mRNA Expression in the Regenerating Antler Tip of Red Deer (Cervus elaphus)
Deer antlers are the only mammalian organs that can fully regenerate each year. During their growth phase, antlers of red deer extend at a rate of approximately 10 mm/day, a growth rate matched by the antler nerves. It was demonstrated in a previous study that extracts from deer velvet antler can promote neurite outgrowth from neural explants, suggesting a possible role for Nerve Growth Factor ...
متن کاملDeer antler innervation and regeneration.
Nervous system injuries are a major cause of impairment in the human society. Up to now, clinical approaches have failed to adequately restore function following nervous system damage. The regenerative cycle of deer antlers may provide basic information on mechanisms underlying nervous system regeneration. The present contribution reviews the actual knowledge on the antler innervation and the f...
متن کاملThe Role of Caspase 9 during Programmed Cell Death in Ciliary Ganglia of Chick Embryos
During programmed cell death (PCD) apoptosis is controlled by many factors such as proteases. With no specific protease (s) known during PCD in the developing nervous system so far, we sought to determine if any specific protease (s) is involved in this process and therefore used different protease inhibitors during PCD (from embryonic day 6 to 10) in chick embryos. Among the inhibitors commerc...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death in Dictyostelium.
Programmed cell death (PCD) of Dictyostelium discoideum cells was triggered precisely and studied quantitatively in an in vitro system involving differentiation without morphogenesis. In temporal succession after the triggering of differentiation, PCD included first an irreversible step leading to the inability to regrow at 8 hours. At 12 hours, massive vacuolisation was best evidenced by confo...
