Fig. 5.
Increase in the ER-PM contacts after axon injury. a The ER-PM contacts in the cell body of control motor neuron were reconstructed. The blue sheet represents the PM, and red patch represents the reconstructed ER-PM contact. b The ER-PM contacts in the cell body of injured motor neuron were reconstructed. The blue sheet represents the PM, and each coloured patch represents the ER-PM contact. The number and area of the ER-PM contacts increased after axotomy. c The percentage of ER-PM contacts in the PM was calculated. The contact region significantly increased after injury, and the p-value was determined using the Student’s t-test: *p < 0.01 (n = 4 for control, n = 3 for injured). Scale bar 2 µm
