The slow Wallerian degeneration gene <i>in vivo</i> protects motor axons but not their cell bodies after avulsion and neonatal axotomy
1 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
The slow Wallerian degeneration gene (Wld(S)) delays Wallerian degeneration and axon pathology for several weeks in mice and rats. Interestingly, neuronal cell death is also delayed in some in vivo models, most strikingly in the progressive motoneuronopathy mouse. Here, we tested the hypothesis that Wld(S) has a direct protective effect on motoneurone cell bodies in vivo. Cell death was induced in rat L4...
