... (PNS), the mRNA of Ybx1 is enriched in the axons of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and can be locally translated. Inhibition of local translation of Ybx1 results in a decrease in axon growth. We further identify 28 target mRNAs of Ybx1 in DRG neurons, including Ttl and Mmp24 . Axon-specific...

... advantage of the ability of oligodendrocytes to form nascent myelinating structures when co-cultured with dorsal root ganglion (DRG)neurons. DRG neurons obtained from embryonic day (E) 14-16 rats were cultured for 2 weeks on 22 mm diameter coverslips (see Materials and methods). At 2 weeks, DRG cultures had...

...Keisuke Watanabe; Nobuaki Tamamaki; Takahiro Furuta; Susan L. Ackerman; Kazuhiro Ikenaka; Katsuhiko Ono Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons extend axons to specific targets in the gray matter of the spinal cord. During development, DRG axons grow into the dorsolateral margin of the spinal cord...

...Jennifer C. Kasemeier-Kulesa; Paul M. Kulesa; Frances Lefcort The neural crest is a migratory population of cells that produces many diverse structures within the embryo. Trunk neural crest cells give rise to such structures as the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and sympathetic ganglia (SG),which form...

... neurotrophic effects upon several classes of peripheral and central neurons. Limited information from in vitro and expression studies has also substantiated a role for GDNF family ligands in mammalian somatosensory neuron development. Here, we show that although dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons...
