Macrophages enter to clear the resulting debris. The nerve distal to the injury degenerates in a process known as Wallerian degeneration. [15] A less severe degree of degeneration also occurs in ...

The course of nerve regeneration is complicated. Some important intervention nodes have attracted more attention, such as Wallerian degeneration, phagocytosis of debris, axonal extension and ...

Our ability to provide a voice for scientists and engineers and to advance science depends on the support from individuals like you. Whether you’re a scientist, engineer, teacher, or science advocate, ...

Macular degeneration and cataracts are two different eye conditions that have some shared symptoms, including blurriness and vision loss. The risk for both increases with age. Macular degeneration ...

Myopic macular degeneration (MMD) is a serious eye condition that can cause vision loss that gets worse over time. Treatment may help reduce complications of MMD. Myopic macular degeneration (MMD ...

Most of us take our eyesight for granted and yet, if you’re among the 10 million people in the U.S. with low-vision due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), reading, writing, and other ...

As noted by the authors, DLK has been implicated in both axon regeneration and degeneration. Following axotomy, DLK activation can lead to the degeneration of distal axons, where synapses are located.

Macular degeneration causes vision loss and primarily affects people age 65 and older. The condition affects the macula, the sensitive part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. There ...

Fibroid degeneration occurs when a uterine fibroid outgrows its limited blood supply and begins to die. Fibroids are benign uterine growths made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous tissue. Some people ...

They display a pathophysiological continuum from transitory CB to axonal degeneration. CB may be due to paranodal myelin detachment and node lengthening, dysfunction or disruption of Na + channels, ...
