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 …

This review highlights current tissue engineering and novel therapeutic approaches to
axonal regeneration following spinal cord injury. The concept of developing 3-dimensional …

Nowadays there are at present no efficient therapies for spinal cord injury (SCI), and new
approaches have to be proposed. Recently, a new regenerative medicine strategy has been …

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 …

Autologous nerve grafts are the current criterion standard for repair of peripheral nerve
injuries when the transected nerve ends are not amenable to primary end-to-end …

Tensioning techniqueswere the first neurodynamic techniques used therapeutically in the
management of people with neuropathies. This article aims to provide a balanced evidence …

Peripheral nerve injuries can lead to lifetime loss of function and permanent disfigurement.
Different methods, such as conventional allograft procedures and use of biologic tubes …

Biomechanical factors profoundly influence the processes of tissue growth, development,
maintenance, degeneration, and repair. Regenerative strategies to restore damaged or …

The lymphatic system is a major circulatory system within the body, responsible for the
transport of interstitial fluid, waste products, immune cells, and proteins. Compared to other …

Clinically available hollow nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) have had limited success in
treating large peripheral nerve injuries. This study aims to develop a biphasic NGC …
