In peripheral nerves, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is localized to a subset of Schwann cells and is decreased in synthesis during Wallerian degeneration. This pattern of expression is similar to that of myelin protein genes. In the present study, C57BL/Wld mice, which exhibit delayed Wallerian
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a 200-amino acid protein expressed in high concentrations by peripheral nerves and is thought to be important for the survival and regeneration of injured motoneurons (Lin et al., J Biol Chem 26589424947, 1990). To better understand CNTF's role in nerve injury w
Following peripheral nerve injury, cholesterol from degenerating myelin is retained locally within macrophages and subsequently reutilized by Schwann cells for synthesis of new myelin during nerve regeneration. Substantial evidence indicates this conservation and reutilization of cholesterol is acco
