Mechanisms of axotomy-induced motoneuron apoptosis
Nerve injury causes death of motor nerve cells (motoneurons) in neonatal mammals, in sharp contrast to motoneurons in adult mammals, which survive and regenerate their severed processes (axons). Injured neonatal motoneurons die by an active form of cell death, called apoptosis, whereby the cell a...
