In other nerves, SNAP increased over months, as for axonal regeneration. Conclusions Sensory fibres are often involved subclinically in AMAN. Reversible conduction failure may develop in sensory as ...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) play a vital role in endothelialization and vascularization for tissue regeneration. Various EPC/EC targeting biomolecules have been ...

These factors expand the extent of damage, exacerbate injury severity, and severely impede axonal regeneration after SCI. Modulating the pathological microenvironment through various interventions may ...

Glial cells respond to injury within the CNS ... Additional regulation of axon regeneration may come from intrinsic differences within neuronal populations and possibly from mechanisms that ...

Nat Clin Pract Neurol. 2007;3(6):331-340. The finding of inflammatory lesions in PDN initially came as a surprise; however, it is now clear that complex relationships exist between obesity and ...

Our eyes could potentially be coaxed into a special repair mode above and beyond our natural self-healing abilities, according to a new study, thanks to the delivery of antibodies that trigger nerve ...
