Peripheral nerve lesions are frequent occurrences in both human and animal patients,
leading to important physiological and labor complications that affect the quality of life of …

The Schwann cell is one of the most widely studied cell types for repair of the spinal cord.
These cells play a crucial role in endogenous repair of peripheral nerves due to their ability …

The neuromuscular junction becomes progressively less receptive to regenerating axons if
nerve repair is delayed for a long period of time. It is difficult to ascertain the denervated …

Transgenic mice whose axons and Schwann cells express fluorescent chromophores
enable new imaging techniques and augment concepts in developmental neurobiology. The …

Objective To study the effect of electrical stimulation on accelerating facial nerve functional
recovery from a crush injury in the rat model. Study Design Experimental. Method The main …

The majority of human peripheral nerve injuries occur in the upper limb but the majority of
studies in the rat are performed in the hindlimb. The upper and lower limbs differ in dexterity …

The inability to rapidly (within minutes to hours) improve behavioral function after severance
of peripheral nervous system axons is an ongoing clinical problem. We have previously …

Background: Dental pulp tissue contains Schwann and neural progenitor cells. Tissue-
engineered nerve conduits with dental pulp cells promote facial nerve regeneration in rats …

An effective strategy for sustained neurotrophic factor (NTF) delivery to sites of peripheral
nerve injury (PNI) would accelerate healing and enhance functional recovery, addressing …

Background Facial nerves have the potential for regeneration following injury, but this
process is often challenging and slow. Schwann cells (SCs) are pivotal in this process. Bone …
