Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in rats were retrogradely labeled with the fluorescent tracer Fluorogold (FG) and subjected to GAP-43 and c-JUN immunocytochemistry to identify those RGCs that are capable of regenerating an axon. After optic nerve section (ONS) and simultaneous application of FG to the

Axotomy of vertebrate neurons leads to the transient upregulation of GAP-43 and β£-tubulin. In adult zebrafish retina, mRNA levels of both genes were increased in retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve lesion following a similar time course. At 5 days after crush, the mRNA level of GAP-43 was incre
## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGFβ2) has been implicated as a trophic factor that promotes survival and neurite outgrowth of neurons. We found previously that application of FGFβ2 to the proximal stump of the injured axon increases retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival. We dete
## Abstract Epithelial/epidermal fatty acidβbinding protein (EβFABP) is induced in peripheral neurons during nerve regeneration and is found at high levels in central neurons during neuronal migration and development. Furthermore, EβFABP expression is required for normal neurite outgrowth in PC12 c
## Previous work by Cellerino et al. has shown that chronic absence of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) resulted in hypomyelination of the optic nerve. Since myelination is influenced by neuronal activity, it is possible that a deficiency in BDNF during early development could alter the fi
