Proximo-Distal Movement along the Axon of Protein synthesized in the Perikaryon of Regenerating Neurons

DURING regeneration of crushed nerve-fibres of spinal ganglion cells, the turnover rate of proteins in the ganglia ( C .7 and C .8) increases extensively, as compared with the controls 1 . This finding, on one hand, justifies the increase in protein in the perikaryon of the regenerating neuron 1,2 ;...

Description
Summary:DURING regeneration of crushed nerve-fibres of spinal ganglion cells, the turnover rate of proteins in the ganglia ( C .7 and C .8) increases extensively, as compared with the controls 1 . This finding, on one hand, justifies the increase in protein in the perikaryon of the regenerating neuron 1,2 ; on the other hand, it supports Weiss's opinion 3 that some of the new proteins leave the body-cell and reach the growing end of the axon.
