Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The ...

The regrowth of their long nerve fibers is hindered by scar tissue and molecular processes ... Systemic administration of epothilone B promotes axon regeneration after spinal cord injury ...

While repair of the central nervous system has long been considered impossible, French researchers from Inserm, the CNRS and the UPMC have just developed a strategy that could promote neuronal ...

Scientists identify clue to regrowing nerve cells Date: November 7, 2013 Source: Washington University in St. Louis Summary: Researchers have identified a chain reaction that triggers the regrowth ...

Oligodendrocytes myelinate axons for rapid impulse conduction and contribute to normal axonal functions in the central nervous system. In multiple sclerosis, demyelination is caused by autoimmune ...

Scientists at the NIH and the Indiana University School of Medicine have investigated how increasing energy levels within injured spinal cord nerves could help promote axon regrowth and restore ...

Researchers observed axon regrowth in injured mice that received a single treatment injection of the growth-factor protein, and the animals also regained movement in their hind limbs.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WLNS) – Damaged nerve fibers that can be caused from a spinal cord injury could lead to permanent loss of function. A lot of research has been done to find ways to regenerate ...

Challenges in Axon Regrowth and Recovery. Researchers have long grappled with the sluggish nature of axon regeneration, which crawls at a maximum rate of 1-2 mm per day. The challenge is compounded by ...

If there is fairly significant axonal loss (decreased nerve conduction amplitude), the EMG should eventually yield increased insertion activity and increased amplitudes of motor units surveyed.
