To test whether new neurons were generated in toxin-damaged retinas, we double labeled sections for BrdU and retinal neuron-specific markers. In the avian retina, ... Neuron 6, 923–936 (1991).

A neuron (arrow) that has incorporated BrdU (green) during cell division is also labeled with the neuron-specific marker NeuN (red) but not with the glial marker GFAP (glial fibrillary acid ...

BrdU in single stranded DNA, free BrdU or BrdU coupled to protein carrier. S-phase of the cell cycle. Proliferation marker. Weak cross with chloro deoxyuridine but not thymidine. Comments / Questions.

He looked at the brains of cancer patients who were injected with a chemical called BrdU before they died. ... At most, the neocortex adds one new neuron every year for every 7000 existing ones.

BrdU is a variant of one of the four bases that make up DNA and once injected, it gets incorporated into newly-created DNA. In this way, the presence of BrdU acts as a marker for newborn cells. Again, ...

To identify dividing cells in mice and rats, Gage had been using a molecule known as bromodeoxyuridine, or BrdU. ... Neuron 74(4):634-639. DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2012.03.030 ...

It can be detected in a variety of ways, including the measurement of DNA synthesis by the incorporation of BrdU into newly synthesized DNA, which is then visualized using anti-BrdU antibodies. This ...

New neurons take more than six months to mature in adult monkeys and likely even longer in humans, say researchers. Their findings challenge the notion that the time it takes for neurogenesis is ...

"However, what is clear is that in four separate experiments involving two independent lines for each transgene, the fractional survival of BrdU-labeled cells in FAD mutant animals was always ...
