Background Inflammation constitutes both positive and negative aspects to recovery
following peripheral nerve injury. Following damage to the peripheral nervous system (PNS), …

AlphaB-crystallin (αBC) is a small heat shock protein that is constitutively expressed by
peripheral nervous system (PNS) axons and Schwann cells. To determine what role this crystallin …

Injury to axons of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
is accompanied by the upregulation and downregulation of numerous molecules that are …

The cysteine protease inhibitor Cystatin C (CST3) is highly expressed in the brains of
multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and C57BL/6J mice with experimental autoimmune …

Despite rhythmic expression of clock genes being found throughout the central nervous
system, very little is known about their function outside of the suprachiasmatic nucleus. …

Circadian rhythms modulate behavioral processes over a 24 h period through clock gene
expression. What is largely unknown is how these molecular influences shape neural activity …

Evidence indicates that dysfunction of older Schwann cells and macrophages contributes to
poor regeneration of more mature peripheral nervous system (PNS) neurons after damage. …

In an effort to identify factors that contribute to age-related deficits in the undamaged and
injured peripheral nervous system (PNS), we noted that Brady and colleagues found that mice …

The olfactory bulb (OB) is a small, self-contained system that is pivotally involved in generating
the sense of the smell. Large-scale models of the olfactory bulb reconstruct extensive …

Abalone around the world are subject to increasing frequency of marine heatwaves, yet we
have a limited understanding of how acute high temperature events impact the physiology of …
