The phrase "assessing axon" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to neuroscience or biology, particularly when discussing the evaluation or analysis of axons in the nervous system.
Example: "The researchers are assessing axon regeneration in the damaged spinal cord to understand the potential for recovery."
Alternatives: "evaluating axon" or "analyzing axon".
Erturk, A. et al. Three-dimensional imaging of the unsectioned adult spinal cord to assess axon regeneration and glial responses after injury.
This advance might be significantly important to assess axon growth pending the regeneration process [103].
Studies of ultrastructural analysis will also be revealing in assess axon myelination.
For assessing axonal transport, axons immediately after exiting the ventral nerve cord were imaged for 10 min using timelapse confocal microscopy.
We used the developing mouse diaphragm as a model for assessing axonal guidance, where motor axons first reach the diaphragm between E11 12, but continue to branch and respond to guidance cues up to E15, when the mature innervation pattern is reached [40], [41].
We assessed axonal vulnerability in primary murine neuronal cultures, with axons isolated from their cell bodies using a compartmented chamber design.
Using evoked motor potentials to assess spinal axon function, we found that adoptive transfer of perforin-competent SCILs into demyelinated perforin-deficient hosts resulted in striking disruption of spinal conduction from the high cervical cord (stimulation site) to the gastrocnemius muscle (recording site) (Figure 4D).
To systematically assess peripheral axon growth and guidance in E11.5-E13.5 E11.5-E13.5 visualizembryosofilament-M (hereafter 'NF') immunoreactivity in weole-mount tissues and in thick (0.7–1 mm) visualizedsections.
In this study, we used immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy and electron microscopy, together with qualitative and quantitative analyses to assess oligodendroglial, axon and myelin damage in TgPAC-Notch3R169C mice, a model of preclinical CADASIL.
