The role of the desert hedgehog signaling pathway during degeneration and regeneration of peripheral nerves
The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh is mainly expressed in developmental nerves and Sonic hedgehog protein (dhh homologous) has therapeutic effects in neuronal survival, we attempted to investigate the possible ...

متن کاملThe effect of adeno-associated virus mediated brain derived neurotrophic factor in an animal model of neurogenic impotence.
PURPOSE We tested the hypothesis that transfecting penile tissue with brain derived neurotrophic factor may facilitate neural recovery and erectile capability after cavernous nerve injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the 34 Sprague-Dawley rats used 10 underwent sham operation and 24 underwent bilateral cavernous nerve freezing and intracavernous injection of adeno-associated virus-LacZ (12) or a...
متن کاملImmunohistochemistric study of the intra-cardiac ganglia of the pig heart
Heart contains a variety of neurons known to influence cardiac functions. Little is known about the neurochemistry of these neurons. In this study, neurochemistry of intra cardiac neurons of the intrinsic cardiac ganglia was investigated. The technique used allows studying the morphology of the ganglionated nerve plexus found within the atria and great cardiac vessels as well as of individual n...
متن کاملNeural Stem Cell-based Intraocular Administration of Pigment Epithelium-derived Factor Promotes Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Axon Regeneration after Optic Nerve Crush Injury in Rat: An Experimental Study
Background: Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is regarded as a multifunctional protein possessing neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties. PEDF has a very short half-life, and it would require multiple injections to maintain a therapeutically relevant level without a delivery system. However, multiple injections are prone to cause local damage or infection. To overcome this, we chose...
