Unlike other tissues in the body, peripheral nerve regeneration is slow and usually
incomplete. Less than half of patients who undergo nerve repair after injury regain good to …

Trauma-associated peripheral nerve defect is a widespread clinical problem. Autologous
nerve grafting, the current gold standard technique for the treatment of peripheral nerve …

Nerve Repair is a historically-based, translational review of the clinical and basic science
relevant to nerve repair and regeneration. Essential reading for a wide range of …

The ideal neuroprosthetic interface permits high-quality neural recording and stimulation of
the nervous system while reliably providing clinical benefits over chronic periods. Although …

Inherited demyelinating peripheral neuropathies are progressive incurable diseases without
effective treatment. To develop a gene therapy approach targeting myelinating Schwann …

Major trauma to the mammalian spinal cord often results in irreversible loss of function, ie
paralysis, and current therapies ranging from drugs, implantations of stem cells and/or …

Fascicular rearrangement of an injured peripheral nerve requires reconnection of nerve
sprouts from anterior and Büngner bands from distal sides of the lesion, failing to which …

We review data showing that peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) that involve the loss of a nerve
segment are the most common type of traumatic injury to nervous systems. Segmental-loss …

Background Nervous system injuries in mammals often involve transection or segmental
loss of peripheral nerves. Such injuries result in functional (behavioral) deficits poorly …

Traumatic injuries to PNS and CNS axons are not uncommon. Restoration of lost behaviors
following severance of mammalian peripheral nerve axons (PNAs) relies on regeneration by …
