| Abstract | A prerequisite for axon regeneration is the interaction between the growth cone and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Laminins are prominent constituents of ECM throughout the body, known to support axon growth in vitro and in vivo. The regenerative capacity of adult neurons is greatly diminished compared to embryonic or early postnatal neurons. Since most lesions in the nervous system occur in the adult, we have examined neurite outgrowth from adult mouse DRG neurons on four laminin isoforms (laminin-1/LM-111, laminin-2/LM-211, laminin-8/LM-411 and laminin-10/LM-511) in vitro. The growth on laminin-1 and -10 was trophic factor-independent and superior to the one on laminin-2 and -8, where growth was very poor in the absence of neurotrophins. Among other ECM proteins, laminins were by far the most active molecules. Using function-blocking antibodies to laminin-binding integrins, we identified non-overlapping functions of integrins alpha3beta1, alpha7beta1 and alpha6beta1 on different laminin isoforms, in that alpha3beta1 and alpha7beta1 integrins appeared to be specific receptors for both laminin-1 and-2, whereas integrin alpha6beta1 was a receptor for laminin-8 and-10. Lastly, by use of immunohistochemistry, expression of subunits of laminin-1, -2, -8 and -10 in sensory organs in the human epidermis could be demonstrated, supporting an important role for these laminins in relation to primary sensory axons. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
