Studies have shown that human hair keratin (HHK) has no antigenicity and excellent mechanical properties. Schwann cells, as unique glial cells in the peripheral nervous system, can be induced by interleukin-1β to secrete nerve growth factor, which ...

In vitro study of decellularized rat tissues for nerve regeneration
Peripheral nerve injuries cause an absence or destruction of nerves. Decellularized nerves, acting as a replacement for autografts, have been investigated in the promotion of nerve repair and regeneration, always being incorporated with stem cells or ...

Coxeter systems with $2$-dimensional Davis complexes, growth rates and Perron numbers [PDF]
In this paper, we study growth rates of Coxeter systems with Davis complexes of dimension at most $2$. We show that if the Euler characteristic $\chi$ of the nerve of a Coxeter system is vanishing (resp. positive), then its growth rate is a Salem (resp. a Pisot) number. In this way, we extend results due to Floyd and Parry. Moreover, in the case where $

The role of the vagus nerve during fetal development and its relationship with the environment [PDF]
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulatory capacity begins before birth as the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity contributes significantly to the fetus' development. Several studies have shown how vagus nerve is involved in many vital processes during fetal, perinatal and postnatal life: from the regulation of inflammation through the anti ...

[INLINE:1] The introduction of neurotrophic factors into injured peripheral nerve sites is beneficial to peripheral nerve regeneration. However, neurotrophic factors are rapidly degraded in vivo and obstruct axonal regeneration when used at a ...

Neurotrophins play a major role in the regulation of neuronal growth such as neurite sprouting or regeneration in response to nerve injuries. The role of nerve growth factor, neurotrophin-3, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in maintaining the ...

Scattered Light Imaging: Resolving the substructure of nerve fiber crossings in whole brain sections with micrometer resolution [PDF]
For developing a detailed network model of the brain based on image reconstructions, it is necessary to spatially resolve crossing nerve fibers. The accuracy hereby depends on many factors, including the spatial resolution of the imaging technique. 3D Polarized Light Imaging (3D-PLI) allows the three-dimensional reconstruction of nerve fiber tracts in ...
