Requirement of Myeloid Cells for Axon Regeneration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The role of CD11b+ myeloid cells in axonal regeneration was assessed using axonal injury models and CD11b-TK(mt-30) mice expressing a mutated HSV-1 thymidine kinase (TK) gene regulated by the myeloid-specific CD11b promoter. Continuous delivery of ganciclovir at a sciatic nerve lesion site greatly decreased the number of granulocytes/inflammatory monocytes and macrophages in the distal stump of CD11b-TK(mt-30) mice. Axonal regeneration and locomotor function recovery were severely compromised in ganciclovir-treated CD11b-TK(mt-30) mice. This was caused by an unsuitable growth environment rather than an altered regeneration capacity of neurons. In absence of CD11b+ cells, the clearance of inhibitory myelin debris was prevented, neurotrophin synthesis was abolished, and blood vessel formation/maintenance was severely compromised in the sciatic nerve distal stump. Spinal cord-injured axons also failed to regenerate through peripheral nerve grafts in the absence of CD11b+ cells. Therefore, myeloid cells support axonal regeneration and functional recovery by creating a growth-permissive milieu for injured axons.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
