Chinese researchers discover new mechanism for con
In the internationally well-known academic periodical "Nature Neuroscience" an article concerning the research achievement, completed by Duan Shumin et al of Shanghai Life Science Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences was published recently. A new mechanism for growth orientation control of neuron axon was discovered: G-protein coupling receptor may orientate the growth of neuron axon. This discovery and the explanation of the corresponding signal transduction mechanism may promote the investigation of a new path for regeneration and repair following nerve injury.
Research of growth orientation of nerve axon is a hot spot study in the field of neurology. The researchers applied the method of concentration gradient created by Professor Pu Muming in the study of axon growth orientation of cerebellar granulocytes, and discovered that G-protein coupling receptors were also able to intervene the orientation of axis cylinder growth, and provided explanation of the corresponding mechanism of signal transduction.
The result of this study not only clarified that during the developmental process of the cerebrum the neurons were able to precisely control the growth orientation of the axons through G-protein coupling receptor, but also was of great help for further investigation of a new path of promoting regeneration and repair following nerve injury., 百拇医药
