The glia response after peripheral nerve injury: A comparison between Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing cells and their uses for neural regenerative therapies [PDF]
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) exhibits a much larger capacity for regeneration than the central nervous system (CNS). One reason for this difference is the difference in glial cell types between the two systems.

Although neurons within the peripheral nervous system (PNS) have a remarkable ability to repair themselves after injury, neurons within the central nervous system (CNS) do not spontaneously regenerate. This problem has remained recalcitrant despite a century of research on the reaction of axons to injury.

An examination of walking track analysis footprints of right-side unoperated limbs in rats prior to and following peripheral nerve injury and PEG fusion repair [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injury can result in long-lasting functional deficits in humans due to mammals’ limited axon regenerative capacity. PEG fusion is a defined technique that fuses injured axons, resulting in morphological and electrophysiological ...

Lumbosacral Plexogram: An Aid to Reconstructive Nerve Possibilities in the Lower Extremity
Summary:. The lumbosacral plexus is the network of nerves responsible for the motor and sensory function of the pelvis and lower limb. Our observation is that the anatomy of this plexus is less familiar to surgeons than that of the brachial plexus ...

Effect of melatonin supplemented at the light or dark period on recovery of sciatic nerve injury in rats [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injuries can cause disabilities, social or economic problems. Melatonin, the secretory product of the pineal gland has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.

Sports medicine physicians should be able to recognize and manage peripheral nerve injuries in athletes. Most often, the injury is a result of repetitive microtrauma, linking peripheral nerve injury to other musculoskeletal injuries in athletes. As with other musculoskeletal injuries, rest and a modification of the athlete's regimen often lead to ...

Progranulin contributes to endogenous mechanisms of pain defense after nerve injury in mice [PDF]
Progranulin haploinsufficiency is associated with frontotemporal dementia in humans. Deficiency of progranulin led to exaggerated inflammation and premature aging in mice.
