Spinal cord injury (SCI), for which there currently is no cure, is a heavy burden on patient
physiology and psychology. The microenvironment of the injured spinal cord is complicated …

In recent decades, artificial nerve scaffolds have become a promising substitute for
peripheral nerve repair. Considerable efforts have been devoted to improving the …

Electrical stimulation (ES) with conductive polymers can dramatically enhance neurite
outgrowth and promote neural regeneration. However, besides ES, the practical …

Injured neurons in the adult mammalian central nervous system often die and seldom
regenerate axons. To uncover transcriptional pathways that could ameliorate these …

There is burgeoning interest in the interaction between the immune and nervous systems.
Pain is mediated by primary sensory neurons (nociceptors) that can respond to a variety of …

The prevalence of diabetes worldwide is at pandemic levels, with the number of patients
increasing by 5% annually. The most common complication of diabetes is peripheral …

Despite the ability of peripheral nerves to spontaneously regenerate after injury, recovery is
generally very poor. The neurotrophins have emerged as an important modulator of axon …

The regenerative capacity of the peripheral nervous system is closely related to the role that
Schwann cells (SCs) play in construction of the basement membrane containing multiple …

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) are common and often result in lifelong disability. The
peripheral nervous system has an inherent ability to regenerate following injury, yet …

Eye pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience including sensory-
discriminative, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components and supported by distinct …
