[1] Although axons in the PNS harbor the potential of axonal regeneration, recovery of severe peripheral nerve injury is often unsatisfactory. This undesirable outcome is believed to be related to ...

After regeneration commences, the advancing axons progress approximately 1 mm/day. This information, coupled with a thorough understanding of the local peripheral nerve anatomy, allows the ...

A summary of some of the molecular and cellular interactions that are induced following peripheral nerve damage (PND). However, spinal cord damage does not normally result in axonal regeneration.

This molecular shift improved nerve regeneration capacity, indicating that axon regrowth is regulated by an inhibitory ...

Through the discovery of a novel gene that regulates the regeneration of multiple types of CNS axons, researchers have ... retinal ganglion cells, promotes nerve repair by shifting lipid synthesis ...

Animal models as well as human cells have shown that cnicin significantly accelerates axon (nerve fibers) growth. The study ...
