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 …

Proper brain wiring during development is pivotal for adult brain function. Neurons display a
high degree of polarization both morphologically and functionally, and this polarization …

Understanding the characteristic morphology of our brain remains a challenging, yet
important task in human evolution, developmental biology, and neurosciences …

The establishment of a functioning neuronal network is a crucial step in neural development.
During this process, neurons extend neurites—axons and dendrites—to meet other neurons …

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

Mechanical force plays a fundamental role in neuronal development, physiology, and
regeneration. In particular, research has shown that force is involved in growth cone …

Time-resolved visualization and analysis of slow dynamic processes in living cells has
revolutionized many aspects of in vitro cellular studies. However, existing technology …

Neurons have a unique polarized nature that must adapt to environmental changes
throughout their lifespan. During embryonic development, axon elongation is led by the …

Elongation of nerve fibers intuitively occurs throughout mammalian development, and is
synchronized with expansion of the growing body. While most tissue systems enlarge …

Peripheral nerve regeneration may be enhanced through the use of biodegradable thin film
biomaterials as highly tuned inner nerve conduit liners. Dorsal root ganglion neuron and …
