Damage to the peripheral nervous system is surprisingly common and occurs primarily from
trauma or a complication of surgery. Although recovery of nerve function occurs in many mild …

Peripheral nerve injury treatment is a relevant problem because of nerve lesion high
incidence and because of unsatisfactory regeneration after severe injuries, thus resulting in …

Neurons exhibit a limited ability of repair. Given that mechanical forces affect neuronal
outgrowth, it is important to investigate whether mechanosensitive ion channels may …

An understanding of how axons elongate is needed to develop rational strategies to treat
neurological diseases and nerve injury. Growth cone-mediated neuronal elongation is …

Innervation plays a pivotal role as a driver of tissue and organ development as well as a
means for their functional control and modulation. Therefore, innervation should be carefully …

Although virtually ignored in the literature until recently, the process of 'stretch growth of
integrated axon tracts' is perhaps the most remarkable axon growth mechanism of all. This …

Rett syndrome (RTT), mainly caused by mutations in methyl-CpG binding protein 2
(MeCP2), is one of the most prevalent intellectual disorders without effective therapies. Here …

Despite being a major health concern, little is known about the pathophysiological changes
that underly concussion. Nonetheless, emerging evidence suggests that selective damage …

There is great concern that one mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) predisposes individuals to
an exacerbated response with a subsequent mTBI. Although no mechanism has been …

There is a growing body of evidence indicating the importance of physical stimuli for
neuronal growth and development. Specifically, results from published experimental studies …
