The word "axonal" in example sentences

He explains that, with the kind of TBI, traumatic brain injury, that I have—a diffuse axonal injury—there can be widespread damage that is undetectable in fMRIs and other tests. ❋ Mira Bartók (2011)

The circles represent neurons and the lines represent dendritic and axonal connections between them. ❋ Michael Chorost (2011)

When the axonal nerves and myelin sheaths become damaged we become—in simplest terms—a bit like marionette puppets without any strings: nothing connects the brain and the toes, the central nervous system and the muscles in our arms or legs. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

Kerr had to find a way to prompt these undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells to differentiate into motor neuron cells in such a way that they would go on to create axonal nerves covered with myelin sheaths—a fatty insulating tissue—that together make up the elaborate electrical highway that constitutes the nervous system. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

When the axonal nerve detects that particular molecule—known as GDNF—it is attracted to it and grows toward it. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

He lowers his hands to stem the tide of applause, eager to explain to the crowd how, utilizing embryonic mouse stem cells in a novel set of strategic scientific steps, he has been able to regenerate the damaged axonal nerves and myelin sheaths in paralyzed rats. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

Voluntary exercise increases axonal regeneration from sensory neurons. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

Kerr applied a particular molecule that other researchers have found acts as just this sort of signpost during fetal development to the area where he wanted the newly growing axonal nerve to go. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

If such a plan succeeded, one could theoretically repair the damaged nerves in MS, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis—all neurological autoimmune diseases in which the myelin sheaths and axonal nerves are compromised. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

The transplanted cells did grow new axonal nerves, but these only ran up and down the spinal cord. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

As the newly generated axonal nerves reached the paralyzed muscle tissue, the muscle began to twitch. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

His team treated 15 of the 150 paralyzed rats with the entire recipe for axonal nerve growth, including all the necessary growth factors and signposts that had proven effective in the lab. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

On the other hand, exercise results in a marked increase in the production of stem cells and new motor neurons—those same motor neurons that are so essential for remyelinating myelin sheaths and axonal nerves in neurological autoimmune disease. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

In transverse myelitis, demyelination and injury to bundles of axonal nerves occurs in focal areas of the spinal cord, often leading to permanent and severe paralysis. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

What if, Kerr asks, we could help reconnect motor neurons to grow axonal nerves along their neural pathways according to normal developmental cues—which are still in place in newborns—so that they could develop a normal nervous system? ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

These myelin sheaths and axonal nerves are of critical importance in MS and transverse myelitis research. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)
