The first chapter describes the structure and regeneration of peripheral nerves following
injury. In addition to the anatomical and clinical basics, the cellular and molecular biological …

Injuries to the peripheral nerves result in partial or total loss of motor, sensory and autonomic
functions conveyed by the lesioned nerves to the denervated segments of the body, due to …

Unlike the central nervous system, axonal regeneration does occur in the peripheral
nervous system, however, despite this, functional recovery from nerve transection injury …

Peripheral nerves injuries result in paralysis, anesthesia and lack of autonomic control of the
affected body areas. After injury, axons distal to the lesion are disconnected from the …

Injuries to peripheral nerves still represent one of the most challenging surgical problems.
Severance of major nerve trunks in the upper extremity causes total or subtotal loss of …

Peripheral nerve injuries result in loss of neural control in denervated segments of the body,
and severe disabilities for the patients. Nerve regeneration usually does not allow for …

The peripheral nervous system is designed to connect the orchestrations of brain and spinal
cord to the rest of the body. In addition, it connects the outside world and that same brain …

During the last decades significant progress was made in the understanding of the
physiopathology of the peripheral nerve regeneration. Although the evolution of therapy is …

The regeneration of nerve is a brilliant example of plasticity within the nervous system.
Axonal sprouts form within a few hours of nerve injury and grow vigorously over long …

Although the most significant advances in nerve repair and regeneration have been
acquired over the last few decades, the study of nerve repair and regeneration potential …
