Glial Cells Assist in the Repair of Injured Nerves
Researchers have discovered that, following nerve damage, peripheral glial cells produce the growth factor neuregulin1, which assists in the regeneration of damaged nerves.... Read More...
Study Suggests Immune System Can Boost Regeneration of Peripheral Nerves
Research seeks the 'master knob' to turn on nerve repair. Modulating immune response to injury could accelerate the regeneration of severed peripheral nerves, a new study in an animal model has found. By altering activity of the macrophage cells that respond to injuries, researchers dramatically increased the rate at which nerve processes regrew.... Read More...
Regeneration of Nerve Connections after Spinal Cord Injury – PTEN Deletion
Deleting the enzyme PTEN allowed neurology researchers to regenerate corticospinal tract neurons after spinal cord injuries in rodents.... Read More...
