Intrahepatic distribution of nerve fibers and alterations due to fibrosis in diseased liver.
Autonomic nerve fibers in the liver are distributed along the portal tract, being involved in the regulation of blood flow, bile secretion and hepatic metabolism, thus contributing to systemic homeostasis.

Sensory innervation of the lumbar 5/6 intervertebral disk in mice
IntroductionOver the years, most back pain-related biological studies focused on the pathogenesis of disk degeneration. It is known that nerve distributions at the outer layer of the annulus fibrosus (AF) may be an important contributor to back pain ...

Cross sections of olfactory nerves present a unique appearance. They indicate the presence of large numbers of very small nerve fibers, with a modal diameter of about 0.2 µ and a narrow range for their size variation. From one side of the nasal septum of a pig the yield of fibers was estimated at 6,000,000; the number arising from the turbinates would ...

Electrical neurostimulation for chronic pain: on selective relay of sensory neural activities in myelinated nerve fibers [PDF]
Chronic pain affects about 100 million adults in the US. Despite their great need, neuropharmacology and neurostimulation therapies for chronic pain have been associated with suboptimal efficacy and limited long-term success, as their mechanisms of ...

Immunomodulation stimulates the innervation of engineered tooth organ [PDF]
The sensory innervation of the dental mesenchyme is essential for tooth function and protection. Sensory innervation of the dental pulp is mediated by axons originating from the trigeminal ganglia and is strictly regulated in time. Teeth can develop from

Changes in the Distribution of Periodontal Nerve Fibers during Dentition Transition in the Cat.
The periodontal ligament has a rich sensory nerve supply which originates from the trigeminal ganglion and trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus. Although various types of mechanoreceptors have been reported in the periodontal ligament, the Ruffini ending is ...
