During development, spinal cord cells of the frog Xenopus laevis undergo a reduction in size. This phenomenon occurs during neural tube formation and continues at least until the start of metamorphosis. The number and shape of spinal cord cells also changes, but not always in synchrony with the redu

## Abstract Damage to the nervous system often results in neuropathic pain. Current treatment for this disabling state is unsuccessful due to our incomplete understanding of cellular mechanisms causing this pain. Although glial cells were largely ignored in most textbooks of pain, accumulating evid
We have quantified the number and size of myelinated fibers of the ventral and dorsal roots of selected segments that innervate the forelimbs (C8) and hindlimbs (L4) in the developing opossum, Monodelphis domestica. The gray opossum was chosen because it is born very immature and its somatomotor dev
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) promotes axonal regeneration in the peripheral nervous system and this effect is enhanced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). We decided, therefore, to study the effects of these factors on axonal regeneration in the adult rat spinal cord. Semipermeable pol
