摘要:

AbstractThe caudal‐most regenerated spinal cord inSternarchus albifronsconsists solely of an ependymal tube. Ependymal cells are enlarged radially and are more numerous than in unregenerated cord. Projections of ependymal cell cytoplasm and Reissner's fiber fill most of the central canal. Small groups of neurites and cell processes filled with dense‐cored vesicles lie between abluminal processes of ependymal cells.Rostral to this, additional cells appear dorsal and lateral to the inner ependymal layer. Some cell bodies contain numerous dense‐cored vesicles. Larger bundles of neurites, some with synapses, are present. Invaginations of the peripheral edge of the cord create enclosed spaces lined with basal lamina. In the peripheral region, longitudinally oriented neurites extend through extracellular spaces or channels. The ventral portion at some levels of regenerated cord is completely filled with neurites, processes containing dense‐cored vesicles, and capillaries. Similar masses of neurites and processes containing dense‐cored vesicles lie outside the cord proper, in or near the meningeal layer.In rostral‐most sections, the organization of regenerated spinal cord approaches that of normal cord, with the regenerated cord exhibiting groups of myelinated axons, differentiated fibrous astrocytes and oligodendroglia, cell bodies containing dense‐cored vesicles, and differentiated electromotor neurons. These observations indicate a degree of pluripotency in some of the ependymal cells in adultSternarchus. Moreover, they are consistent with a role of ependymal cells in the guidance of regenera
